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 Maine
Maine's healthcare costs run approximately 12% above national averages, influenced by the state's rural geography and seasonal population fluctuations that strain provider capacity. The concentration of major medical facilities in southern Maine creates cost disparities between coastal and inland regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Greater Portland area maintains the highest concentration of pregnancy ultrasound specialists, while northern and eastern counties rely heavily on traveling providers or telemedicine consultations. Rural patients often travel 60+ miles for specialty care, adding transportation costs to medical expenses. Some remote areas depend on critical access hospitals that may charge higher facility fees due to lower patient volumes.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based clinics affiliated with Maine Medical Center or Northern Light Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent practices. Freestanding imaging centers often offer competitive pricing but may have limited appointment availability during peak tourist seasons. Academic medical centers provide specialized services but generally operate at higher cost structures than community-based providers.
Insurance Market Competition in Maine
The state's limited insurer options among Anthem, Harvard Pilgrim, and UHC create less competitive pressure on negotiated rates than in larger markets. Rural market dynamics often result in single-insurer dominance in certain counties, reducing provider negotiating power. Geographic isolation limits patients' ability to shop across insurance networks for better pricing.
Physician Supply and Demand in Maine
With over 1,700 active providers offering pregnancy ultrasounds, Maine maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. The state's aging physician workforce and limited residency programs create ongoing recruitment challenges that influence pricing structures. Seasonal population increases strain capacity during summer months, potentially affecting appointment availability and costs.
