The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 76805Ultrasound, pregnant uterus, complete). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.

Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.

This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 76805 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 76805 (Ultrasound, pregnant uterus, complete), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 76805 covers: the provider's professional fee for ob ultrasound. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

How to read this data

Negotiated Rate

The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.

P5, Median, P95

P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.

What this does not tell you

These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.

Why Pregnancy Ultrasound Visit Costs Vary Across Arizona

Arizona's healthcare costs run approximately 5% above the national average, driven by rapid population growth and increasing demand for medical services. The state's mix of urban medical centers and rural healthcare facilities creates significant cost variations across regions.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas have high concentrations of Pregnancy Ultrasound providers, creating competitive pricing and shorter wait times. Rural areas like Yuma, Flagstaff, and smaller border communities often have limited options, which can drive up costs but may offer more personalized care. Patients in remote areas sometimes travel to urban centers for specialized imaging needs.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Arizona's major health systems including Banner Health, Dignity Health, and HonorHealth operate hospital-based imaging centers with higher overhead costs. Independent ultrasound clinics and freestanding imaging centers often offer lower prices due to reduced facility fees. Many practices have invested heavily in newer ultrasound technology, which can affect both quality and pricing.

Insurance Market Competition in Arizona

Arizona maintains a competitive insurance market with UHC, BCBS Arizona, and Aetna holding significant market shares alongside regional plans. This competition helps keep negotiated rates reasonable for imaging services. The state's health insurance marketplace offers multiple options, creating additional pressure on insurers to maintain competitive provider networks.

Physician Supply and Demand in Arizona

With over 5,607 active providers offering Pregnancy Ultrasound services, Arizona has adequate supply relative to its population in urban areas. The state's growing population and high birth rates create steady demand for obstetric imaging. Rural areas still face provider shortages, but telemedicine and mobile ultrasound services are helping bridge access gaps.

Initial pregnancy ultrasound visits typically cost between $50.89 and $178.24, while follow-up monitoring ultrasounds may cost slightly less depending on complexity and duration.

Keep receipts and documentation from your provider showing the medical necessity of the procedure for your records.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Pregnancy Ultrasound in Arizona?

While the actual ultrasound procedure requires in-person imaging, telemedicine can reduce costs for consultation and results discussion appointments. Some Arizona providers offer remote consultations to review ultrasound findings, which typically cost 30-50% less than office visits. Mobile ultrasound services that come to your location may charge premium rates but can save travel costs for patients in remote areas.
