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 Utah
Utah's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages, reflecting the state's efficient regional health systems and competitive insurance market. The concentration of major medical facilities along the Wasatch Front creates pricing advantages for urban residents while rural communities face higher costs and limited provider options.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Salt Lake City metropolitan area houses nearly two-thirds of Utah's Pregnancy Ultrasound providers, creating competitive pricing and short wait times. Rural counties like San Juan and Daggett rely on traveling specialists or require patients to drive 2+ hours to access specialized imaging services. This geographic disparity contributes to cost variations of $100+ for similar services.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Intermountain Healthcare and University of Utah Health dominate the hospital market, with their imaging centers typically charging 30-50% more than independent practices. Academic facilities like University Hospital offer specialized maternal-fetal medicine services but carry higher facility fees. Standalone imaging centers often provide the most cost-effective option for routine pregnancy ultrasounds.
Insurance Market Competition in Utah
SelectHealth maintains the largest market share as Utah's homegrown insurer, competing with national carriers BCBS Utah and UHC. This moderate competition helps keep negotiated rates reasonable, though SelectHealth's strong network leverage allows competitive pricing. The relatively small market limits the number of major insurers compared to larger states.
Physician Supply and Demand in Utah
With 409 active providers statewide serving approximately 3.3 million residents, Utah maintains adequate Pregnancy Ultrasound capacity in urban areas. The concentration of medical training programs at University of Utah helps maintain physician supply, though rural areas still face specialist shortages. This urban-rural imbalance affects both pricing and access to timely appointments.
