What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $50 on the Medicare allowed amount for ultrasound transvaginal. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
This is Medicare's separate payment to the facility on top of the physician's fee. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs Arkansas
Where Arkansas ranks for this CPT
Ultrasound Transvaginal and how Arkansas is priced
One payment locality covers the whole of Arkansas, and its geographic indices are among the lowest CMS publishes, so Medicare-approved amounts here sit near the bottom of the national range. A clinic visit in Little Rock is priced with the same adjustments as one in the Delta or the Ozarks. For consumers this means the statewide numbers on this site are a close match for almost any Arkansas address. The bigger price swings come from whether a procedure is billed in a hospital department or an independent office.
Little Rock is the state's referral hub, home to its academic medical center and the densest concentration of specialists, with Northwest Arkansas growing quickly as a second center of care. Large parts of the Delta and the mountain counties have limited local options, so traveling for procedures is routine. Lower area wages also mean cash prices for care in Arkansas often undercut national averages.
This procedure: A transvaginal ultrasound places a slim, covered probe a short distance into the vagina to obtain close-up images of the uterus, endometrial lining, and ovaries. Because the probe sits near these organs, it shows detail that scanning over the belly cannot, making it the standard test for abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, and early pregnancy evaluation. The exam takes 10 to 20 minutes, involves pressure but not usually pain, and a female chaperone can be requested.
What Is Ultrasound Transvaginal?
A transvaginal ultrasound places a slim, covered probe a short distance into the vagina to obtain close-up images of the uterus, endometrial lining, and ovaries. Because the probe sits near these organs, it shows detail that scanning over the belly cannot, making it the standard test for abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, and early pregnancy evaluation. The exam takes 10 to 20 minutes, involves pressure but not usually pain, and a female chaperone can be requested.
What Affects the Cost
- –It is frequently billed together with a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound (76856) in the same appointment, doubling the imaging lines on the claim.
- –OB/GYN offices performing it in-house often charge less overall than hospital imaging departments.
- –In fertility care, this scan may be repeated at multiple monitoring visits per cycle, and fertility monitoring is often billed outside regular insurance benefits.
- –The reading fee bills separately where a radiologist rather than the examining gynecologist interprets.
- –Findings such as a thickened lining commonly lead to biopsy or hysteroscopy, each a new procedure cost.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Will you bill both a transvaginal and an abdominal pelvic ultrasound today, and why are both needed?
- 2.Is this scan being coded as diagnostic or as fertility monitoring, and how does my plan treat each?
- 3.Who interprets the images, and is their fee separate?
- 4.What does this cost in your office versus the hospital's imaging department?
- 5.If the scan shows a thickened lining or cyst, what follow-up procedures and costs should I expect?

Ultrasound Transvaginal in Arkansas: questions
Arkansas is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 76830 is $103.46 in an office and $103.46 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Arkansas uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $21 for the office physician line or $21 for the hospital physician line in Arkansas. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $103.46 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $224 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $175 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Arkansas ranks #1 of 51 states on the physician line (12% below the national office rate of $117.57).
