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 Wyoming

Wyoming's Pregnancy Ultrasound costs run approximately 38% above the national average, reflecting the challenges of providing specialized healthcare across the nation's least populated state. The state's vast geography and low population density create unique cost pressures for maternal care providers serving scattered rural communities.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Wyoming's major population centers like Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie offer more competitive ultrasound pricing due to higher provider concentration and patient volume. Rural counties often rely on traveling specialists or require patients to drive hours for comprehensive prenatal imaging services. This geographic disparity creates significant access barriers and can lead to delayed or missed prenatal care for women in remote areas.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient clinics in Wyoming typically charge premium rates due to higher overhead costs and facility fees associated with maintaining services in low-volume markets. Independent obstetric practices and freestanding imaging centers often provide more affordable options, though they may be limited to larger towns. Many Wyoming hospitals operate as critical access facilities, which can affect their pricing structures and reimbursement models.

Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming

With Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna controlling most of the market, insurance competition remains limited compared to more populous states. This concentration can result in less aggressive rate negotiations between insurers and providers, potentially keeping costs higher for patients. The state's small market size also limits insurers' ability to spread risk across large patient populations.

Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming

Wyoming's 184 active Pregnancy Ultrasound providers serve a geographically dispersed population, creating pockets of both shortage and adequate coverage depending on location. The state faces ongoing challenges recruiting and retaining specialists in rural areas, which can drive up pricing in underserved regions. Urban areas like Cheyenne benefit from better provider-to-population ratios, often resulting in more competitive pricing and shorter wait times.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs in Wyoming

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

Self-pay patients in Wyoming typically pay between $50.89 and $331.12 for a pregnancy ultrasound, with a median cost of $142.55 based on negotiated insurance rates. Actual cash prices may vary, as many providers offer self-pay discounts that can reduce these amounts by 30-50%. The wide cost range reflects differences between basic 2D ultrasounds and more comprehensive 3D/4D imaging services.

Does Wyoming Medicaid cover Pregnancy Ultrasound visits?

Yes, Wyoming Medicaid covers medically necessary pregnancy ultrasounds with no copay for eligible recipients. However, Wyoming did not expand Medicaid, so eligibility remains limited to those meeting strict income requirements, though pregnancy often qualifies women for emergency Medicaid coverage. Pregnant women should apply for Medicaid as soon as possible to ensure coverage throughout their pregnancy.

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

Compare costs between hospital-based clinics and independent practices, as freestanding imaging centers often offer lower prices than hospital outpatient departments. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have a high deductible, and consider community health centers in larger towns like Cheyenne and Casper. Some providers offer package deals for multiple prenatal visits, which can reduce overall costs throughout your pregnancy.

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

Initial pregnancy ultrasound visits typically cost more than follow-up appointments due to the comprehensive nature of first-time assessments and longer appointment times. Follow-up ultrasounds for routine monitoring usually fall on the lower end of the $50.89-$331.12 range, while detailed anatomy scans or diagnostic imaging may cost toward the higher end. Your specific costs will depend on the complexity of imaging needed and your provider's fee structure.

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

Yes, pregnancy ultrasounds are qualified medical expenses that can be paid for using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds. This includes both medically necessary diagnostic ultrasounds and routine prenatal imaging covered by your healthcare provider. Keep receipts and documentation from your Wyoming provider for tax and reimbursement purposes.

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

While the actual ultrasound procedure must be performed in-person, telemedicine consultations with maternal-fetal medicine specialists can reduce overall costs by eliminating travel expenses common in Wyoming's rural setting. Some providers offer remote consultation services to review ultrasound results or provide follow-up care, which typically costs less than in-person visits. This hybrid approach can be particularly valuable for Wyoming patients who would otherwise need to travel long distances for specialist consultations.
