What this price typically doesn't include

Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:

  • Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
  • Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
  • Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
  • Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
  • Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient

Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule

Best value Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center — $406 4★ CMS rating
You could save $108 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
North Carolina average $724 — prices near Charlotte are below 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

If you're paying cash for this ultrasound in Charlotte, your price depends heavily on which hospital system you choose. The Atrium Health locations (Pineville, Carolinas Medical Center, University City) charge $323 cash, while Novant Health facilities charge $514 — that's $190 more for the same procedure. Both systems are widely available, so this is a real choice you can make when you call to schedule. If your insurance is covering it, the gap between hospitals narrows, but it's worth asking your insurance company which facilities are in-network to avoid surprise costs.

Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and confirm the $323 or $514 cash price applies to your specific ultrasound order — your doctor's notes matter here. If you're uninsured or your deductible is high, ask if they offer a discount for self-pay (many do beyond the listed price). Once you book, ask when you'll get results and whether your doctor's office will receive them directly, so you're not chasing records yourself.

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 Transvaginal?"

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.
