Before you schedule
If you're paying cash for this ultrasound in Arlington, the price you'll be quoted could be anywhere from $867 to over $3,200 — more than three times higher depending on which facility you choose. Most hospitals in the area cluster at the lower end around $867, which means one or two outliers are charging significantly more for the exact same scan. This is your chance to shop: calling ahead to confirm the cash price before you schedule could save you thousands of dollars.
Before you book, call the imaging department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask for their cash price for a complete abdominal ultrasound — get it in writing if you can. If that price seems high, ask if they offer financial assistance based on your income, since some facilities here do. If your doctor hasn't specified a location, you have room to choose the facility with the lower quote, so make those three calls first and compare.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Ultrasound Abdomen Complete?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
