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 Kansas
Kansas healthcare costs run approximately 7% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive provider market. The state's mixed urban-rural geography creates distinct cost patterns between metropolitan areas like Wichita and Kansas City suburbs versus smaller agricultural communities.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Kansas's major population centers around Wichita, Topeka, and the Kansas City metro area concentrate most specialty providers, while rural counties often have limited obstetric services. This geographic imbalance can force rural patients to travel significant distances for pregnancy care, potentially affecting both access and total care costs. Some rural areas rely on visiting specialists or telemedicine consultations to bridge these gaps.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics in Kansas typically charge higher rates than independent practices due to facility fees and administrative overhead. Major health systems like Ascension Via Christi and The University of Kansas Health System operate numerous locations but may have less pricing flexibility than smaller practices. Freestanding imaging centers often provide the most competitive rates for routine pregnancy ultrasounds.
Insurance Market Competition in Kansas
The Kansas insurance market shows moderate concentration with BCBS Kansas, UHC, and Aetna as primary players, limiting competitive pressure on negotiated rates. This concentrated market structure can result in less aggressive rate negotiations compared to states with more insurer competition. However, the presence of multiple regional health plans provides some pricing variation across different insurance products.
Physician Supply and Demand in Kansas
With 1,874 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers serving Kansas's population, the state maintains adequate provider supply in most regions. This relatively robust provider network helps contain costs through competition, though rural areas may experience shortages that drive up local pricing. Urban markets like Wichita benefit from multiple competing practices, while smaller communities may have limited options affecting both access and pricing flexibility.
