About This Procedure
Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures within the body. Common uses include pregnancy monitoring, abdominal imaging, and cardiovascular assessment.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
