Does Medicare cover Pelvic ultrasound (limited)?

Yes — Medicare generally covers Pelvic ultrasound (limited). It is typically an outpatient service under Medicare Part B, with a Medicare-approved amount of about $51. After your annual Part B deductible, you typically owe the 20% coinsurance — roughly $10 — unless a Medicare Advantage or supplemental (Medigap) plan covers it.

General guidance from Medicare’s national rates — your actual coverage and share depend on medical necessity, your plan, and where the service is performed. Confirm with Medicare or your plan.

About these prices

Based on prices published by 2312 US hospitals across 52 states, the typical (median) cash price is $357, versus a chargemaster (list) price around $639, a median insurer-negotiated rate of $160, a Medicare rate of about $51. Most cash prices fall between $119 and $944 — a wide spread, which is exactly why comparing hospitals pays off.

How to save

  • Ask each hospital for its cash / self-pay price — for shoppable services it is often far below the list price.
  • Compare several nearby hospitals; prices for the same service can differ severalfold.
  • Request a written estimate and the billing code (CPT/DRG) before scheduling.
  • Use the Medicare benchmark above to judge whether a quote is reasonable.
  • If you are uninsured, ask about financial assistance or prompt-pay discounts.

Why do Pelvic ultrasound (limited) prices vary between hospitals?
Hospitals set their own chargemaster and cash prices and negotiate different rates with each insurer, so two hospitals in the same area can charge very differently for the same service.
Is the cash price lower than using insurance?
Sometimes. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, the cash/self-pay price can be lower than the insurer-negotiated rate — ask the hospital for both.
