What the whole procedure costs
The office rate above is what an imaging center, lab or office is paid for the whole test. In a hospital, the facility bills its own fee and the physician bills only the reading. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
This is Medicare's separate payment to the facility on top of the physician's fee. For a test like this the physician in a hospital bills only the reading (the professional component); outside a hospital one global fee covers the whole test, shown in the office rate above. 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 center 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. In Kansas the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $76.73.
National vs Kansas
Where Kansas ranks for this CPT
Ultrasound Transvaginal and how Kansas is priced
A single locality covers all of Kansas, with geographic indices in the lower national tier, so the published Medicare rates apply evenly from the Kansas City suburbs to the far western High Plains. Notably, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro prices under the statewide Kansas locality while the Missouri side has its own metro locality, meaning the two halves of one city carry different approved amounts. Beyond that quirk, Kansas pricing is straightforwardly uniform. Wichita, Topeka, and rural Kansas all share the same adjustments.
The Kansas City metro and Wichita hold most of the state's specialists, with the academic medical center on the Kansas side of the metro serving as the top referral point. Western Kansas is genuinely frontier in places, with long distances to any hospital that performs advanced procedures, and some High Plains residents cross into Colorado or Nebraska for care. Critical access hospitals carry much of the rural load.
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 Kansas: questions
Under 2026 Medicare rates, an ultrasound transvaginal costs about $139 in total at a hospital outpatient department, counting both the physician and the facility (national rates). Outside a hospital, at an independent imaging center, lab or office, Medicare's full rate in Kansas averages $108. Kansas is a single Medicare locality, so the physician rate is the same statewide.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Kansas 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 $22 for the office physician line or $6 for the hospital physician line in Kansas. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
It depends on where the test is done. At an independent imaging center, lab or office, $107.63 is Medicare's full rate in Kansas, covering the test and the reading. In a hospital outpatient department the physician is paid only for the reading (about $30.90) and the hospital is paid separately, which brings the national total to about $139. Kansas ranks #7 of 51 states on the non-hospital rate (8% below the national office rate of $117.57).
