Outpatient: lowest $128.16, median $160.20, highest $914.50 — a 7.1× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $649.89, median $707.87, highest $980.16 — a 1.5× 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 7 facilities here, median $293.70. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

Cash or insurance?

At 4 of 4 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 2 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

This ultrasound looks at the veins of both legs and the blood flow in them. It is the main test for a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) and for varicose vein problems.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the scan of both legs. The reading may be billed separately.

8 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 93970 ($846.60). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
