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.

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 Indiana

Indiana's healthcare costs run approximately 6% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive provider market across both urban centers and rural communities. The state's decision not to expand Medicaid has created unique pricing dynamics as providers adjust rates to accommodate uninsured populations.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Indianapolis and Fort Wayne concentrate most specialist providers, while rural counties often rely on traveling physicians or telehealth consultations for specialized obstetric care. Northern Indiana communities near Chicago sometimes access Illinois providers, creating cross-border pricing competition. Southern rural areas face longer travel times to specialty services, though local hospitals increasingly offer basic ultrasound capabilities.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned outpatient clinics typically charge 40-60% more than independent practices due to higher overhead and facility fees. Indiana University Health and Community Health Network dominate hospital-based services in central Indiana, while smaller regional health systems serve rural markets. Freestanding imaging centers often provide the most cost-effective options for routine pregnancy ultrasounds.

Insurance Market Competition in Indiana

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield holds significant market share, with UnitedHealthcare and MDwise providing competitive alternatives in most regions. Rural areas may have limited insurer options, reducing negotiated rate competition among providers. The growing ambulatory surgery center market has increased price transparency and created downward pressure on routine procedure costs.

Physician Supply and Demand in Indiana

With 381 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers serving the state's 6.8 million residents, Indiana maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural counties. This geographic imbalance creates pricing variations, with rural providers sometimes charging premium rates due to limited competition. Wait times for routine prenatal ultrasounds typically range from one to three weeks, though urgent evaluations can be accommodated more quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs in Indiana

What is the average cost of a Pregnancy Ultrasound visit in Indiana without insurance?

Uninsured patients in Indiana typically pay between $44.56 and $280.22 for pregnancy ultrasound services, with a median cost of $100.83 based on insurer negotiated rates. Independent imaging centers often charge less than hospital-based facilities, and many providers offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% for patients paying at the time of service. Rural providers may charge different rates than urban facilities, so comparing prices across multiple locations can yield significant savings.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover Pregnancy Ultrasound visits?

Indiana Medicaid covers pregnancy ultrasounds for eligible pregnant women with no copays or deductibles for prenatal services. However, Indiana chose not to expand Medicaid, limiting eligibility primarily to pregnant women, children, elderly, and disabled individuals who meet strict income requirements. Women who don't qualify for traditional Medicaid may be eligible for emergency Medicaid coverage during pregnancy, which includes prenatal ultrasound services.

How do I find an affordable Pregnancy Ultrasound near me in Indiana?

Compare prices between hospital-based clinics and independent imaging centers, as the latter often charge 40-60% less for the same services. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have high-deductible insurance, as many Indiana providers offer substantial reductions for immediate payment. Community health centers throughout Indiana provide sliding-scale fees based on income, making specialized care more accessible for lower-income patients.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Initial pregnancy ultrasounds typically cost more due to comprehensive evaluation time and detailed documentation requirements for new patients. Follow-up ultrasounds for growth monitoring or specific concerns may be less expensive, though costs depend on complexity and time required. The median rate of $100.83 applies to standard ultrasound procedures, while specialized studies like 3D imaging or fetal echocardiograms command higher fees regardless of visit type.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Pregnancy Ultrasound visit in Indiana?

Yes, pregnancy ultrasounds qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) in Indiana. You can use pre-tax dollars to pay for deductibles, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs associated with prenatal ultrasound services. Keep receipts and documentation from your provider to submit for reimbursement or direct payment from your HSA/FSA account.

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

While actual ultrasound imaging requires in-person visits, telehealth consultations for results review or follow-up discussions typically cost 20-30% less than office visits in Indiana. Some providers offer remote consultation packages that include ultrasound interpretation and patient counseling at reduced rates. Indiana's telehealth expansion during the pandemic has made these hybrid care models more accessible, particularly benefiting rural patients who face long travel distances to specialist offices.
