Ultrasound Cost in Pensacola, FL

An ultrasound is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time pictures of structures inside the body. A trained technologist moves a handheld device called a transducer, coated with water-based gel, across the skin, and the returned echoes are converted into images on a monitor. No radiation is involved. In Pensacola, two complete ultrasound codes are covered here: HCPCS 76856 (Pelvic Ultrasound, Complete) and HCPCS 76700 (Abdominal Ultrasound, Complete). The facility fee covers the room, the equipment, and the technologist's time. Prices on this page come from the hospital price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish.

Data may be outdated

This hospital's pricing file has not been updated since 01/01/2026 (287 days ago). Prices may not reflect current charges. Contact the hospital directly for current pricing.

Scope note: These are hospital facility fees only. Standalone imaging centers (not hospitals) often charge significantly less for outpatient imaging but are not covered by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule, so they are not included in this data. We currently track only hospital-published prices.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is the amount for patients paying without insurance. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates across insurance plans. For pelvic ultrasound (76856), Baptist Hospital Pensacola lists a gross charge of $2,216 and a cash price of $332.40, which is 15% of gross. Sacred Heart Pensacola lists a gross charge of $3,348 and a cash price of $1,339.20, which is 40% of gross. Sacred Heart offers a smaller percentage discount, yet its cash price is higher. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not yet met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Code variations
The two codes describe different examinations: 76856 images the pelvic region, while 76700 images the abdomen. At Baptist Hospital Pensacola, the abdominal code's cash price of $638.40 is $306.00 higher than the pelvic code's $332.40. At Sacred Heart Pensacola, the pelvic code's cash price of $1,339.20 is $572.40 higher than the abdominal code's $766.80, so the relationship between the codes is not the same at every hospital.

Why Ultrasound Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for abdominal ultrasound (76700) range from $1,917 at Sacred Heart Pensacola to $4,555.44 at Santa Rosa Medical Center, a gap of $2,638.44. Cash prices for the same code range from $638.40 at Baptist Hospital Pensacola to $4,492.95 at HCA West, a gap of $3,854.55. The gap widens at the cash level because the hospitals apply different discounts. Baptist, Gulf Breeze, and Santa Rosa Medical Center set cash prices at about 15% of gross. Sacred Heart Pensacola sets them at about 40%. HCA West sets cash equal to gross, a 100% ratio, which means no discount is applied.

Facility type and alternatives
All five facilities in this dataset are hospitals, and hospital facility fees reflect the cost of operating a full-service institution. Outpatient or freestanding imaging facilities are not in this dataset and may charge differently. Across both codes, cash prices at these hospitals run from $332.40 to $4,492.95.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Ultrasound cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $332.40 to $4,492.95 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $14.13 (Baptist Hospital (Pensacola)). 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

Quote the exam and its five-digit code. This page covers 76700 (abdominal, complete) and 76856 (pelvic, complete). Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code first, and whether the order is with or without contrast, since that changes the code. Then ask the hospital for its cash price and an itemized estimate for that code.

Line the quote up with the page. The page shows 5 hospitals and 10 price rows. For 76856, cash prices run from $332.40 at Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) to $1,339.20 at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola. At HCA Florida West Hospital, cash is the same as the gross charge, so no cash discount is published there. If your quote or bill is far outside the range shown for your code, ask the billing office to explain the gap. Free-standing and outpatient imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently.

Look for two kinds of charges. The price here is the hospital (technical) charge only. Check the bill for:

The facility fee for the scan itself.
A separate professional fee from the radiologist who reads the images, often on its own bill.
Whether the code on each line matches the exam you were told about.

Gaps on this page. Every row here has a published gross charge and cash price, so nothing is shown as $0 or blank. If you see a $0 elsewhere, treat it as missing data, not a free scan.

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 Pensacola?

Cash prices for a pelvic ultrasound (76856) are $332.40 at Baptist Hospital Pensacola and Gulf Breeze Hospital, $705.67 at Santa Rosa Medical Center, $1,339.20 at Sacred Heart Pensacola, and $2,431.30 at HCA West. Cash prices for an abdominal ultrasound (76700) are $638.40 at Baptist and Gulf Breeze, $683.32 at Santa Rosa, $766.80 at Sacred Heart, and $4,492.95 at HCA West. Overall, cash prices range from $332.40 to $4,492.95. These 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 is the chargemaster price, a list price set by the hospital that almost no one pays. Cash prices are discounted from it. At Baptist Hospital Pensacola, Gulf Breeze Hospital, and Santa Rosa Medical Center, cash is 15% of gross; for example, $332.40 against a $2,216 gross charge for 76856. At Sacred Heart Pensacola, cash is 40% of gross ($1,339.20 against $3,348). Sacred Heart's discount is smaller in percentage terms, yet its cash price is higher because its starting gross charge is higher. HCA West's cash price equals its gross charge.

Does insurance cover a ultrasound?

Coverage depends on the specific plan and whether the plan considers the service medically necessary. Negotiated rates vary widely: for abdominal ultrasound (76700), 524 payer rates range from $99.98 to $4,492.95, and for pelvic ultrasound (76856), 615 payer rates range from $14.13 to $3,763.58. Non-emergency imaging may require prior authorization from the insurer before the service is performed. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for your plan, not the gross charge, until the deductible is satisfied.

Are there additional fees beyond the ultrasound facility charge?

Yes. The facility fee covers the hospital's room, equipment, and staff. A radiologist, the physician who reads and interprets the images, bills a separate professional fee, and that bill may come from a different office than the hospital. These professional fees are not included in the prices listed on this page. If an ultrasound is performed in the emergency department, a separate emergency room facility fee is also billed. Dollar amounts for these additional fees are not part of the hospital price data used here.
