Before you schedule

Virginia average $1,190 — prices near Richmond are above average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

You're looking at a wide price range for this ultrasound in Richmond — anywhere from $476 to $2,920 depending on which facility you choose. That's a sixfold difference, and it matters because your out-of-pocket cost will depend heavily on whether your insurance plan covers imaging at that specific hospital. Before you schedule, call your insurance company and ask which Richmond-area facilities are in-network for abdominal ultrasounds; going out-of-network could mean paying much more than the cash prices shown here.

Once you know your in-network options, ask the billing department at each hospital for your actual out-of-pocket responsibility — don't rely on the cash prices alone if you have insurance. If you're uninsured or considering self-pay, the $476 option is worth investigating, since paying out of pocket at the lowest-priced facility could save you thousands compared to the median price of $2,464.

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.

1

"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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
