Hospital The hospital that published the price, its city and the line exactly as written in its price file.

Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

A transvaginal pregnancy ultrasound uses a small probe placed in the vagina to get close-up pictures. It is most often used early in pregnancy to see the pregnancy and heartbeat, and later to measure the length of the cervix.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the exam. The doctor's reading may be billed separately, and an abdominal pregnancy ultrasound done at the same visit is billed under its own code.
