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 and below every plan's rate. 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 ultrasound uses a small probe placed in the vagina to make close-up pictures of the uterus, ovaries and pelvis. It is used to look into pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, fibroids or ovarian cysts. This code is for non-pregnancy exams.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the exam itself. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately, and many exams are paired with an abdominal pelvic ultrasound (76856 or 76857), which is billed as its own code.
