Outpatient: lowest $3,507.00, median $3,507.00, highest $3,507.00.

Both sides : lowest $644.50, median $948.09, highest $2,361.00 — a 3.7× difference within the same market.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 18 facilities here, median $948.09. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

What it is

A carotid ultrasound uses sound waves and Doppler to look at the arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain. It checks for narrowing or plaque and is ordered after a stroke or mini-stroke, for a bruit heard in the neck, or to follow known artery disease.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the complete study of both sides. The interpretation by a radiologist or vascular specialist is often billed separately.
