Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 76805 — Ultrasound, 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.

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 Colorado
Colorado's healthcare costs run approximately 7% above national averages, driven by the state's mountain geography and concentrated urban markets along the Front Range. The state's competitive ambulatory surgery center market, particularly around Denver, creates both pricing competition and quality variations.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Denver-Boulder metropolitan area concentrates most specialty providers, while rural communities in the Western Slope and Eastern Plains face limited access and higher travel costs. This geographic disparity forces many patients to travel significant distances, adding indirect costs to their care.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient clinics in Colorado typically charge 40-60% more than independent practices due to facility fees and higher operational costs. Major health systems like UCHealth, Presbyterian/St. Joseph, and SCL Health dominate the market with premium pricing structures.
Insurance Market Competition in Colorado
Colorado's robust insurance competition among UHC, Anthem, and Kaiser creates varying negotiated rates across providers and geographic regions. The state's competitive marketplace exchange offers multiple insurer options, though rural areas may have limited choices affecting pricing leverage.
Physician Supply and Demand in Colorado
With over 1,580 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers statewide, Colorado maintains adequate specialist availability relative to population, particularly in urban corridors. This healthy provider supply helps moderate pricing and reduces wait times, though rural areas still experience physician shortages that can drive up costs.
