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 New Mexico
New Mexico's Pregnancy Ultrasound costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive pressure from Medicaid's significant market presence. However, rural access challenges and provider concentration in urban areas create wide cost variations across the state's diverse geography.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The majority of maternal-fetal medicine specialists practice in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, forcing rural patients to travel long distances for specialized care or high-risk pregnancy monitoring. This geographic maldistribution drives up costs for rural residents who must factor in travel expenses and may pay premium rates at the limited rural practices that offer obstetric services.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Presbyterian Healthcare System and University of New Mexico Health System dominate the state's hospital market, with their outpatient obstetric clinics typically charging facility fees that independent practices do not. These academic medical centers offer advanced maternal-fetal services but at higher costs, while smaller independent practices provide more affordable routine prenatal care.
Insurance Market Competition in New Mexico
Limited insurer competition, with Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, UnitedHealthcare, and Molina controlling most of the market, reduces negotiating pressure on provider rates. The state's small population and rural challenges make it less attractive to national insurers, resulting in fewer plan options and potentially higher negotiated rates for specialty services.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Mexico
With over 1,270 providers offering Pregnancy Ultrasound services, New Mexico has reasonable coverage for routine prenatal care, though subspecialists remain concentrated in urban areas. This supply distribution creates cost disparities, with rural areas facing both access challenges and premium pricing due to limited competition among the few available providers.
