Ultrasound Cost in Port St. Lucie, 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 applies a water-based gel to the skin and moves a handheld device called a transducer across the area being imaged. The transducer sends sound waves into the body and records the echoes that return, which a computer converts into images. The facility fee covers the hospital's room, equipment, and technologist staffing. This page covers two billing codes: HCPCS 76700 (Abdominal Ultrasound, Complete) and HCPCS 76856 (Pelvic Ultrasound, Complete). Prices come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster price. The cash price is what an uninsured or self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates across insurance plans. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the gross charge for both codes is $918, and the cash price is $596.7, or 65% of gross. HCA Lawnwood and HCA St. Lucie list cash prices equal to gross, or 100%. Cleveland Clinic offers the larger percentage discount, yet HCA St. Lucie's gross charge is so much higher that its cash price of $6,285 for code 76700 still far exceeds Cleveland Clinic's $596.7. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Code variations
Code 76700 covers a complete abdominal ultrasound, while 76856 covers a complete pelvic ultrasound. The abdominal code is priced higher at the HCA hospitals: $3,571 versus $3,322 at Lawnwood, a $249 difference, and $6,285 versus $4,793 at St. Lucie, a $1,492 difference. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, both codes carry the same $918 gross and $596.7 cash price.

Why Ultrasound Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for code 76700 range from $918 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North to $6,285 at HCA St. Lucie, a gap of $5,367. For code 76856, gross charges range from $918 to $4,793, a gap of $3,875. Because Cleveland Clinic discounts its cash price by 35% while the HCA hospitals list cash prices equal to gross, the cash gaps match the gross gaps in dollar terms: $5,688.30 for code 76700 ($6,285 minus $596.7) and $4,196.30 for code 76856 ($4,793 minus $596.7). Negotiated insurance rates also differ widely, with the lowest at $25.29 and the highest at $5,342.25.

Facility type and alternatives
Hospital prices reflect each system's own chargemaster, payer contracts, and cost structure. Academic medical centers, community hospitals, and hospital-owned outpatient departments may each set prices differently. Outpatient or freestanding imaging facilities, which are not in this dataset, may also charge differently than hospitals. Among the three hospitals compared here, cash prices range from $596.7 to $6,285.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Ultrasound cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $596.70 to $6,285 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $25.29 (Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital). 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 number, not the word. This page covers two exams: 76700 (abdominal, complete) and 76856 (pelvic, complete). Ask the ordering office which exact CPT code is on the order, and whether it is with or without contrast, since contrast changes the code. Then ask the hospital's billing office for its cash price and an itemized estimate under that code.

Check a cash quote against the insured range. At HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, the cash price for 76700 is $3,571, listed as equal to the gross charge, while insured rates there top out at $3,035.35. Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital lists a cash price of $596.70, lower than its $918 gross charge. If a quote or bill is near the gross charge, you can ask whether a different price applies.

Look for two bills on one scan. The prices here are the hospital (technical) charge only. The radiologist who reads the images usually bills separately.

Check whether the facility fee on the bill matches the code you were quoted.
Ask whether the reading physician is billed by a separate group, and whether that group's price is part of any estimate.
Check for extra lines such as contrast supplies.

Mind the data limits. Every row on this page has a published cash price and a gross charge, so no $0 or blank entries are standing in for a free exam. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price the same exam differently.

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 Port St. Lucie?

Cash prices vary by hospital and code. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, both the abdominal (76700) and pelvic (76856) ultrasound are $596.7. At HCA Lawnwood, the pelvic ultrasound is $3,322 and the abdominal is $3,571. At HCA St. Lucie, the pelvic ultrasound is $4,793 and the abdominal is $6,285. Overall, cash prices range from $596.7 to $6,285. The abdominal code costs $249 more than the pelvic code at Lawnwood and $1,492 more at St. Lucie. These figures are facility fees only. Physician and professional fees, such as the radiologist's reading, 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. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the cash price is 65% of the $918 gross charge. At HCA Lawnwood and HCA St. Lucie, the cash price equals 100% of gross. Cleveland Clinic's larger percentage discount still produces a much lower cash price because its starting gross charge is lower. HCA St. Lucie's $6,285 gross charge for code 76700 is $5,367 higher than Cleveland Clinic's $918, so even with no discount applied, the cash price remains well above Cleveland Clinic's discounted $596.7.

Does insurance cover a ultrasound?

Coverage depends on your specific plan and on whether the service meets the plan's medical necessity criteria. Negotiated rates vary widely: for code 76700, rates range from $30 to $5,342.25, and for code 76856, from $25.29 to $4,074.05. Non-emergency imaging may require prior authorization from your insurer. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not yet met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for your plan, not the gross charge. Once the deductible is met, your cost depends on your plan's coinsurance or copayment terms.

Are there additional fees beyond the ultrasound facility charge?

Yes. The prices above are facility fees, which cover the hospital's room, equipment, and technologist staff. For imaging procedures such as ultrasound, the radiologist who interprets the images typically bills a separate professional reading fee. That fee is not included in the facility prices shown here, and the data does not list an amount for it. If an ultrasound is performed in the emergency department, a separate ER facility fee is also billed. Additional charges may apply depending on the hospital, the insurer, and the services provided during the visit.
