Ultrasound Cost in Naples, FL

How much does a ultrasound cost without insurance in Naples?

Cash prices for the two codes range from $651.69 to $1,264.40. For pelvic ultrasound (76856), cash prices are $651.69 at Physicians Regional Collier, $760.31 at Physicians Regional Pine Ridge, and $1,264.40 at NCH Baker Hospital. For abdominal ultrasound (76700), they are $873.40 at Collier, $965.20 at NCH Baker, and $1,018.97 at Pine Ridge. Within Physicians Regional, the abdominal code costs $221.71 to $258.66 more than the pelvic code. These figures are facility fees only. Physician and professional fees, such as the radiologist's interpretation, are billed separately.

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

The gross charge, or chargemaster price, is a hospital's full list price before any discounts. Almost no one pays it. Insurers negotiate lower rates, and uninsured patients are typically offered a cash price. At Physicians Regional, cash prices are 18% to 21% of gross, and at NCH Baker they are 40% of gross. NCH Baker's smaller discount still produces a higher cash price for pelvic ultrasound ($1,264.40 versus $651.69 to $760.31), because the percentage is applied to a different set of figures. Gross charges are published under federal transparency rules but rarely reflect what is actually paid.

Does insurance cover a ultrasound?

Coverage depends on the specific plan and whether the service is considered medically necessary by the insurer. Negotiated rates vary widely: for both codes, rates run from $100.55 up to $2,404.02 (pelvic) or $3,221.87 (abdominal) at Physicians Regional, and from $109.17 to $245.64 at NCH Baker. Some plans require prior authorization for non-emergency imaging, so you may want to confirm requirements with your insurer before scheduling. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for your plan, not the gross charge. Once the deductible is met, cost sharing depends on your coinsurance or copay terms.

Are there additional fees beyond the ultrasound facility charge?

Yes. The prices listed here are facility fees, which cover the hospital's room, equipment, and technologist staff. A radiologist's separate reading fee for interpreting the images is billed on its own, often by a physician group rather than the hospital. If the ultrasound is performed in the emergency department, a separate ER facility fee applies in addition to the imaging charges. Other professional services, such as an ordering physician's office visit, are also billed separately. Dollar amounts for these additional fees are not part of the hospital price transparency data used on this page, so they are not shown here.
