Cash or insurance?

At 10 of 13 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 3 it is 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 limited pelvic ultrasound looks at one question in the pelvis, such as following up an ovarian cyst or checking the bladder.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading may be billed separately.
