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 Ohio
Ohio's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages, reflecting the state's moderate cost of living and competitive insurance market. The state's mix of major metropolitan areas and rural counties creates distinct pricing patterns for pregnancy ultrasounds across different regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Ohio's major metros like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati offer abundant imaging options with competitive pricing, while Appalachian counties in the southeast face provider shortages. Rural patients often travel 30+ miles for specialized prenatal imaging, sometimes increasing overall visit costs. Urban markets benefit from multiple hospital systems and independent imaging centers competing for patients.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Large health systems like Cleveland Clinic, OhioHealth, and UC Health operate extensive outpatient imaging networks with higher overhead costs reflected in pricing. Independent radiology practices and freestanding imaging centers typically offer 20-30% lower rates for routine pregnancy ultrasounds. Hospital-based facilities often charge facility fees in addition to professional fees, increasing total costs.
Insurance Market Competition in Ohio
Strong competition between Medical Mutual, Anthem, and UHC creates favorable negotiated rates for pregnancy imaging services throughout Ohio. The state's relatively balanced market prevents any single insurer from dominating price negotiations. Regional insurers like Medical Mutual often negotiate competitive rates with local provider networks.
Physician Supply and Demand in Ohio
With over 4,300 providers offering ultrasound services, Ohio maintains adequate specialist availability in most regions, helping control pricing through competition. The state's medical schools and residency programs produce steady physician supply, preventing severe shortages that drive up costs. Wait times for routine pregnancy ultrasounds typically remain under two weeks in major metropolitan areas.
