Ultrasound Cost in Jacksonville, FL

An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves, sent through a handheld probe placed on the skin with gel, to produce real-time images on a monitor. A technologist captures the images, and a physician later interprets them and issues a written report. The hospital facility fee covers the equipment, the room, the technologist's time and hospital overhead. This page covers two billing codes: 76700 (Abdominal Ultrasound, Complete) and 76856 (Pelvic Ultrasound, Complete). All prices come from the machine-readable price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish, and they cover 13 hospitals across 26 price rows.

What These Prices Mean

Reading gross, cash and insured figures
The gross charge is a hospital's full list price before any discount. The cash price is what a self-pay patient is quoted, and the insured range runs from the lowest to the highest negotiated rate in the files. At Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County, the 76700 gross charge is $2,424.50, the cash price is $897.07 (37% of gross), and insured rates run from $103.54 to $897.07. At Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, cash is 62% of gross, and at UF Health Jacksonville it is 55%. People on a high-deductible plan who have not met the deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Abdominal and pelvic code pricing
Code 76700 covers a complete abdominal study and 76856 covers a complete pelvic study. At most hospitals here the abdominal code carries the higher charge. Baptist Medical Center Beaches lists $2,485 gross and $1,540.70 cash for 76700, against $2,198 gross and $1,362.76 cash for 76856. HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital lists $11,824.96 for 76700 and $6,130.60 for 76856, both at gross.

Gross and cash spread across systems
Gross charges on this page run from $1,076.52 at UF Health Jacksonville (76856) to $11,824.96 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (76700), about 11x apart.

Two of the 13 hospitals, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, publish cash equal to gross, with no self-pay discount. The other hospitals publish cash at 37% of gross for Ascension, 62% for Baptist Health (Jacksonville) and 55% for UF Health. Excluding the cash-equals-gross hospitals, cash runs from $592.09 to $1,776.27, about 3x apart.

Outside this dataset and across plans
Outpatient imaging centers and other facilities that are not in this dataset may price the same studies differently. Insurer rates also differ by plan. For Florida Blue, rates run from $106.74 at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County to $14,296 at Wolfson Children's Hospital, with a median of $720.65 across 11 hospitals. At HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, 113 published rates for 76856 run from $237.50 to $5,517.54.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Ultrasound cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $592.09 to $11,824.96 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $78.40 (Baptist Medical Center Beaches). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These Ultrasound Prices

Ask which ultrasound, then quote its number. This page covers two exams: 76700 (abdominal, complete) and 76856 (pelvic, complete). Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code and whether the order is with or without contrast, since contrast changes the code. Then ask the hospital for its cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate for that code.

Put your quote next to the numbers here. Every row on this page has a published cash price. The cash range runs from $592.09 at UF Health Jacksonville (76856) to $1,776.27 at UF Health Jacksonville (76700), not counting the two hospitals where cash equals gross. At HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, no discount from the gross charge is published. At seven rows, cash sits above every insured rate listed at that hospital, so ask what the hospital's lowest and highest insured rates would mean for your own plan.

Ask the hospital whether the quote is the facility (technical) charge only.
Ask for the radiologist's reading fee to be quoted separately.
Ask whether any supplies or other line items could be added.

Sort the bill into its pieces. The prices here are the hospital's facility charge. The radiologist who reads the images usually bills on their own, so a second bill from a separate group is common. When the bills arrive, check that each line carries the code you were quoted.

Know what this page leaves out. No row here has a missing gross charge, so there are no $0 or blank gaps to read as free care. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently, so any quote from one will not line up with these figures.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Ultrasound Costs

How much does a ultrasound cost without insurance in Jacksonville?

Among the 13 hospitals here, every price row has a published cash price, so no cash prices are missing. Cash prices run from $592.09 at UF Health Jacksonville (76856) to $11,824.96 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (76700). HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital publish cash equal to gross charge. Excluding those two hospitals, cash runs from $592.09 to $1,776.27 at UF Health Jacksonville (76700). These are facility charges only. The radiologist who reads the images usually bills a separate professional fee that is not included in these figures.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is a hospital's full list price, which few patients pay. Cash prices are usually published as a discounted share of it. Ascension hospitals list cash at 37% of gross, UF Health Jacksonville at 55%, and the Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals at 62%. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital publish cash at 100% of gross, meaning no self-pay discount appears in their files. Across the page, gross charges run from $1,076.52 to $11,824.96, about 11x apart, while cash prices excluding those two hospitals run about 3x apart.

Does insurance cover a ultrasound?

Whether insurance covers an ultrasound depends on your plan, so the plan itself or your insurer is the source for that. The hospital files list negotiated rates, and all 13 hospitals here publish at least one insured rate. Insured rates range from $78.40 at Baptist Medical Center Beaches (76856) to $14,296 at Wolfson Children's Hospital (76700). Florida Blue's rates run from $106.74 to $14,296. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge.

Are there additional fees beyond the ultrasound facility charge?

The facility charge is usually only one part of the bill. A radiologist or other physician typically bills a separate professional fee for interpreting the images and writing the report. If a referring doctor or clinic performs an exam, that office may bill its own visit or service fee. Some hospitals also bill separately for supplies, contrast agents when used, or other services on the same day. Each bill may come from a different provider and may be processed separately by your insurer. An itemized bill or a written estimate from the hospital can show which charges are included.

What is the cash price for a pelvic ultrasound at UF Health Jacksonville?

UF Health Jacksonville publishes a cash price of $592.09 for 76856 Pelvic Ultrasound, Complete, against a gross charge of $1,076.52. That cash price is 55% of the gross charge. It is a facility charge only, so separate professional fees are not included. Its 76700 abdominal ultrasound cash price is $1,776.27.

Which Jacksonville hospital has the highest published ultrasound price?

HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital has the highest published price on this page, at $11,824.96 for 76700 Abdominal Ultrasound, Complete. Cash equals the gross charge there, so no self-pay discount is published. This is a facility charge only. Its 76856 pelvic ultrasound price is $6,130.60, also with cash equal to gross.

Do any Jacksonville hospitals charge cash prices equal to the gross charge for ultrasounds?

Yes, 2 of the 13 hospitals on this page publish cash equal to gross: HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital lists $4,686 for 76700 and $3,645 for 76856. These are facility charges only, with no self-pay discount published.
