The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 76805Ultrasound, 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.

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 Oklahoma

Oklahoma's healthcare costs run approximately 8% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and moderate provider competition. The state's mix of urban medical centers and rural clinics creates distinct pricing tiers across different geographic regions.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Oklahoma City and Tulsa metro areas concentrate most high-volume ultrasound facilities, creating competitive pricing and shorter wait times for routine scans. Rural counties often rely on visiting sonographers or require patients to travel to regional centers, potentially increasing transportation costs but sometimes offering lower base fees. The state's oil industry has historically supported healthcare infrastructure in certain rural areas, maintaining better access than purely agricultural regions.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Major health systems like Integris, Saint Francis, and OU Medicine operate hospital-based imaging departments that typically charge higher facility fees than independent clinics. Freestanding imaging centers and OB-GYN offices often provide more competitive pricing due to lower overhead costs and streamlined operations. Many newer facilities have invested in advanced ultrasound technology, sometimes justifying premium pricing for specialized 3D/4D services.

Insurance Market Competition in Oklahoma

BCBS Oklahoma dominates the state's insurance market alongside UnitedHealthcare and CommunityCare, creating moderate competition that helps control negotiated rates. The absence of Medicaid expansion limits insurer participation in lower-income markets, concentrating competition primarily among commercial plans. This market structure generally produces negotiated rates below national averages while maintaining adequate provider networks in metropolitan areas.

Physician Supply and Demand in Oklahoma

With over 1,700 providers offering ultrasound services statewide, Oklahoma maintains adequate capacity for routine prenatal imaging in most regions. This provider density is concentrated heavily in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, while rural areas may experience longer scheduling delays for specialized scans. The relatively balanced supply-demand ratio helps maintain the state's below-national pricing levels while preventing significant access barriers for routine prenatal care.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs in Oklahoma

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

Uninsured patients in Oklahoma typically pay between $42 and $175 for a standard pregnancy ultrasound, with the median cost around $87. These rates represent negotiated prices that insurers pay providers and often serve as a baseline for self-pay pricing. Many facilities offer cash discounts of 20-40% for patients paying directly, potentially bringing costs below the median range.

Does Oklahoma Medicaid cover Pregnancy Ultrasound visits?

Yes, Oklahoma Medicaid covers medically necessary prenatal ultrasounds for eligible pregnant women, typically with no copay when performed by participating providers. However, Oklahoma has not expanded Medicaid, which limits eligibility to very low-income pregnant women and those meeting specific categorical requirements. Patients should verify their provider accepts Medicaid before scheduling, as not all imaging facilities participate in the program.

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

Compare prices between hospital-based imaging departments and independent clinics, as freestanding facilities often charge 30-50% less than hospital outpatient departments. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers that may offer sliding fee scales based on income. Rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers throughout Oklahoma often provide ultrasound services at reduced rates for qualifying patients.

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

Standard pregnancy ultrasounds are typically procedure-based billing rather than consultation visits, so costs remain consistent at $42-$175 regardless of whether it's your first or subsequent ultrasound. However, if you need to see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist for interpretation, initial consultations generally cost more than follow-up visits. The ultrasound procedure itself maintains the same pricing structure throughout your pregnancy for routine scans.

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

Yes, pregnancy ultrasounds qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for deductibles, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs associated with prenatal ultrasound services. Keep receipts and documentation showing the medical necessity of the ultrasound for your tax records.

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

While the ultrasound procedure itself must be performed in-person, some Oklahoma providers offer telemedicine consultations for discussing results or follow-up questions at reduced rates. Remote interpretation services may help lower costs at some rural facilities by eliminating the need for on-site specialists. However, the actual ultrasound imaging requires in-person visits, so telemedicine provides limited cost savings for the core procedure.
