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.

What CPT 76805 covers: the provider's professional fee for ob ultrasound. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Oregon

Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, driven by the state's concentration of high-cost urban markets and challenging rural access dynamics. The Pacific Northwest's higher cost of living and strong provider networks contribute to premium pricing compared to many other states.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Portland's metro area concentrates most specialist services, while eastern Oregon counties often lack local Pregnancy Ultrasound providers entirely. Patients in rural areas like Harney or Lake counties may travel 100+ miles for specialist care, adding transportation costs to medical expenses. This geographic disparity creates higher effective costs for rural patients despite potentially lower provider fees.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned practices like those within OHSU Health or Legacy Health typically charge facility fees that can double the cost of visits compared to independent practices. Oregon's academic medical centers command premium rates due to their research missions and subspecialty expertise. Ambulatory surgery centers have grown throughout the state, offering a middle-cost option between hospitals and office-based practices.

Insurance Market Competition in Oregon

Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UHC dominate Oregon's insurance market, with varying negotiated rates that can create significant cost differences for identical services. Rural markets often lack insurer competition, allowing providers to negotiate higher rates. The state's ACA marketplace provides additional options, though provider networks may be more limited than employer-sponsored plans.

Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon

With 738 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers, Oregon maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply imbalance drives higher costs and longer wait times outside major metropolitan areas. The state's desirable lifestyle attracts physicians, but practice overhead costs in desirable areas like Bend or the coast can increase patient charges.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs in Oregon

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

Without insurance, Pregnancy Ultrasound visits in Oregon typically range from $68 to $236, with a median cost of $68 based on negotiated rates. Self-pay patients may face higher list prices but should ask about cash discounts, which many Oregon providers offer. The final cost depends on the complexity of the ultrasound, facility type, and geographic location within the state.

Does Oregon Medicaid cover Pregnancy Ultrasound visits?

Yes, Oregon's expanded Medicaid program covers Pregnancy Ultrasound visits for eligible patients, typically with no copay for prenatal care. Coverage includes routine screening ultrasounds and medically necessary diagnostic imaging throughout pregnancy. Patients should verify their eligibility and ensure their chosen provider accepts Oregon Health Plan before scheduling appointments.

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

Compare prices between independent practices and hospital-owned facilities, as costs can vary by hundreds of dollars for identical services. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers which often provide sliding-scale fees. Rural patients may find lower base costs but should factor in travel expenses when comparing urban versus distant providers.

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

Initial Pregnancy Ultrasound consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to comprehensive evaluations and detailed medical history reviews. Based on Oregon's negotiated rates, the cost difference can be significant, with new patient visits often 30-50% higher than established patient appointments. However, many prenatal ultrasounds are billed as procedures rather than office visits, making the distinction less relevant than for other specialties.

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

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for medically necessary Pregnancy Ultrasound visits in Oregon, including copays, deductibles, and out-of-network costs. Prenatal care is considered a qualified medical expense under IRS guidelines. Keep receipts and documentation for tax purposes, and note that elective 3D/4D ultrasounds without medical indication may not qualify for HSA/FSA reimbursement.

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

While actual ultrasound imaging requires in-person visits, many Oregon providers offer telehealth consultations for reviewing results, genetic counseling, or follow-up discussions at lower costs than office visits. Telemedicine can reduce travel expenses for rural patients who need specialist consultations. Some practices combine remote consultations with local ultrasound imaging to provide cost-effective care for patients in underserved areas.
