Inpatient: lowest $1,332.80, median $1,332.80, highest $1,332.80.

Both sides : lowest $420.00, median $809.26, highest $1,124.00 — a 2.7× 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 outpatient, the same code is billed by 7 facilities here, median $1,332.80 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

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
