Pregnancy Ultrasound visits in Delaware show significant price variation, with negotiated rates ranging from $54 to $216 and a median cost of $139 based on insurer agreements with 203 active providers statewide. Delaware patients benefit from strong provider density in New Castle County while still having access to specialists throughout this compact state.

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 Delaware
Delaware's healthcare costs run approximately 11% above the national average, reflecting the state's proximity to high-cost metropolitan markets in Philadelphia and Washington, DC. The First State's unique position as a small but densely populated state creates both advantages in provider access and challenges in cost containment.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
New Castle County, home to Wilmington and Newark, contains the majority of Delaware's Pregnancy Ultrasound specialists, while Kent and Sussex counties have fewer options. This geographic concentration means rural Delaware residents may need to travel to Wilmington or Dover for specialized imaging services. The state's small size makes even the longest drives under an hour, but travel costs can add to the total expense.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
ChristianaCare dominates northern Delaware's healthcare market, while Bayhealth serves central Delaware, and Beebe Healthcare covers the southern region. Hospital-owned imaging centers typically charge higher facility fees due to increased overhead costs and regulatory requirements. Independent imaging centers and outpatient facilities often offer more competitive pricing for routine Pregnancy Ultrasound procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Delaware
Delaware's insurance market is served primarily by Highmark, Aetna, and UHC, creating a relatively concentrated market with limited competition. This concentration can result in higher negotiated rates compared to states with more insurer competition. The state's small market size also means fewer plan options on the ACA marketplace, potentially limiting consumer choice and pricing pressure.
Physician Supply and Demand in Delaware
With 203 active providers offering Pregnancy Ultrasound services, Delaware maintains adequate specialist availability relative to its population of under one million residents. This healthy provider-to-patient ratio helps prevent the supply shortages that drive up costs in other states. However, most specialists concentrate in New Castle County, creating some access challenges for residents of rural Kent and Sussex counties.
