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 Idaho
Idaho's Pregnancy Ultrasound costs run approximately 17% below the national average, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural provider markets. The concentration of specialists in Boise and Coeur d'Alene creates cost disparities between urban centers and remote mountain communities where access remains limited.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Boise and the Treasure Valley account for most of Idaho's 200 Pregnancy Ultrasound providers, while rural counties like Lemhi and Clark have minimal or no local specialist coverage. Patients in eastern Idaho often travel to Idaho Falls or Salt Lake City for care, adding transportation costs to their total healthcare expenses. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to charge premium rates while rural clinics compete more aggressively on price.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics like those operated by St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus typically charge higher facility fees than independent practices across Idaho. Smaller independent clinics in markets like Twin Falls or Lewiston often offer more competitive pricing due to lower overhead costs. The trend toward hospital consolidation in Idaho has reduced price competition in many markets over the past decade.
Insurance Market Competition in Idaho
Idaho's limited insurer competition between Regence BlueCross and PacificSource results in relatively high premiums but stable provider networks statewide. The state's small population and rural geography make it challenging for new insurers to enter the market profitably. This concentration gives the dominant insurers significant negotiating power with providers, helping keep negotiated rates below national averages.
Physician Supply and Demand in Idaho
Idaho's 200 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers serve a growing population, creating moderate supply constraints especially in specialized maternal-fetal medicine. The provider-to-population ratio is below national averages, contributing to longer wait times but not significantly inflating prices due to the state's cost structure. Rural provider shortages mean many patients accept higher travel costs to access care in Boise or Coeur d'Alene rather than waiting for local appointments.
