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 Wisconsin

Wisconsin's Pregnancy Ultrasound costs run approximately 8% below the national average, reflecting the state's balanced mix of urban healthcare markets and rural provider networks. The state's geography creates distinct cost patterns between the Milwaukee-Madison corridor and Wisconsin's extensive rural communities.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Metropolitan areas like Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay offer multiple Pregnancy Ultrasound options, creating competitive pricing. Rural Wisconsin counties often have limited specialist availability, sometimes requiring patients to travel significant distances for care. This geographic disparity can affect both access and pricing, with rural providers sometimes offering lower rates to attract patients from wider service areas.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Wisconsin's major health systems like Froedtert, UW Health, and Ascension operate numerous hospital-based outpatient clinics with higher overhead costs. Independent imaging centers and private OB practices typically offer more competitive pricing due to lower facility fees. The state's mix of academic medical centers and community hospitals creates varied cost structures across different regions.

Insurance Market Competition in Wisconsin

Strong competition between BCBS WI (Anthem), UHC, and WEA Trust helps keep negotiated rates competitive for Wisconsin patients. The state's insurance marketplace offers multiple plan options in most counties, giving consumers leverage in cost comparison. Rural areas may have fewer insurer choices, potentially affecting negotiated rates with local providers.

Physician Supply and Demand in Wisconsin

With 3,783 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers statewide, Wisconsin maintains adequate specialist availability relative to its population. This healthy supply helps moderate pricing and reduces wait times in most areas. However, distribution remains uneven, with higher concentrations in urban areas and some rural counties experiencing periodic shortages.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs in Wisconsin

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

Without insurance, Pregnancy Ultrasound costs in Wisconsin range from $67.50 to $502.28, with a median cost of $95.00. The wide variation depends on facility type, geographic location, and complexity of the imaging study. Many providers offer self-pay discounts that can reduce these costs by 20-40% when you pay upfront.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover Pregnancy Ultrasound visits?

Yes, Wisconsin's expanded Medicaid program covers Pregnancy Ultrasound services for eligible residents. Coverage typically includes routine prenatal ultrasounds with minimal or no copays. The program also covers diagnostic ultrasounds when medically necessary, making prenatal care accessible for lower-income women throughout the state.

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

Compare costs across different facility types, as independent imaging centers often charge less than hospital-based clinics. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers which may offer sliding scale fees. Federally Qualified Health Centers throughout Wisconsin provide prenatal services on an income-adjusted basis.

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

Initial Pregnancy Ultrasound visits typically cost more due to comprehensive history-taking and detailed imaging protocols. Follow-up ultrasounds for monitoring fetal growth or specific conditions are often less expensive and may take less time. The cost difference can range from $50-150, with the median ultrasound cost in Wisconsin being $95.00 regardless of visit type.

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

Yes, Pregnancy Ultrasound visits qualify as eligible medical expenses for both HSA and FSA accounts. You can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for deductibles, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs related to prenatal imaging. Keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes, as pregnancy-related care is considered qualified medical expense.

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

While ultrasound imaging itself requires in-person visits, telemedicine consultations for reviewing results or discussing findings typically cost $50-150 less than office visits. Many Wisconsin providers offer telehealth follow-ups after ultrasounds to discuss results and plan next steps. This hybrid approach can reduce overall pregnancy care costs while maintaining quality care.
