Cost of a Pregnancy Ultrasound Visit
in Hawaii
Reviewed by Momentary Medical Group West PC
Hawaii's isolated island geography creates unique healthcare delivery challenges, with costs running approximately 16% above national averages due to limited provider networks and high operational expenses. Pregnancy Ultrasound patients typically pay between $54 and $230, with a median out-of-pocket cost of $126 based on negotiated insurance rates across Hawaii's healthcare facilities. The state maintains many active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers distributed across the major islands, though geographic barriers can affect access and scheduling for patients seeking specialized obstetric imaging services.

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 Hawaii
Hawaii's healthcare costs run approximately 16% above national averages, driven by the state's remote Pacific location, limited competition among providers, and high operational costs for medical equipment and staff. The island geography creates natural monopolies in healthcare delivery, particularly affecting specialized services like obstetric ultrasound on the outer islands.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oahu's Honolulu metro area concentrates most specialty obstetric imaging services, while patients on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island often face limited local options and may need to travel for advanced fetal imaging. This geographic disparity creates higher effective costs for outer island residents who must factor in inter-island travel expenses for specialized pregnancy ultrasound services.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient imaging at facilities like Queen's Medical Center or Kaiser Permanente typically carries higher facility fees than independent imaging centers due to overhead costs and 24/7 operational requirements. The dominance of large health systems in Hawaii's market means fewer independent alternatives, reducing competitive pressure on pricing for pregnancy ultrasound services.
Insurance Market Competition in Hawaii
The concentrated insurance market featuring primarily HMSA Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, and Kaiser Permanente creates strong negotiating leverage but limited consumer choice compared to mainland markets. This market structure results in relatively standardized pricing across insurers but fewer opportunities for patients to find significantly lower-cost alternatives through plan shopping.
Physician Supply and Demand in Hawaii
Hawaii maintains adequate Pregnancy Ultrasound provider coverage relative to its population, though geographic distribution heavily favors Oahu over the neighbor islands. The state's desirable location helps recruit specialists, but high living costs and limited practice growth opportunities can create retention challenges, potentially affecting long-term pricing and availability of obstetric imaging services.
