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.
Medicare may pay the facility separately for this code or package it into another service on the same day, so treat the facility share as an upper bound. 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 Nevada the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $72.84.
National vs Nevada
Where Nevada ranks for this CPT
Ultrasound Pelvis and how Nevada is priced
Nevada's Medicare rates flow from a single statewide locality with adjustments a little above the national midpoint, shaped mostly by Las Vegas wage and cost levels. Clark County holds nearly three quarters of the state's population, so the statewide factors largely mirror the Las Vegas economy, with Reno and the rural counties along for the ride. A procedure in Elko is approved at the same amount as one on the Strip's doorstep. The gap between that uniform pricing and Nevada's very uneven provider supply is what patients notice most.
Nevada has long ranked among the states with the fewest physicians per resident, and the shortage is sharpest in specialties, so waits and travel are common even in Las Vegas. Reno serves the north and pulls some patients from rural Nevada and eastern California. Many rural Nevadans cross into Utah, Arizona, or California for procedures, and complex cases are often referred to Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City.
This procedure: A complete pelvic ultrasound scans the bladder, uterus, and ovaries through the lower abdomen using a probe on the skin, requiring a full bladder to push bowel out of the way and create a clear acoustic window. It evaluates pelvic pain, fibroids, and masses, and in males or by protocol it examines the bladder and surrounding structures. The exam takes 15 to 30 minutes; the full-bladder requirement is most patients' only complaint.
What Is Ultrasound Pelvis?
A complete pelvic ultrasound scans the bladder, uterus, and ovaries through the lower abdomen using a probe on the skin, requiring a full bladder to push bowel out of the way and create a clear acoustic window. It evaluates pelvic pain, fibroids, and masses, and in males or by protocol it examines the bladder and surrounding structures. The exam takes 15 to 30 minutes; the full-bladder requirement is most patients' only complaint.
What Affects the Cost
- –It is commonly paired with a transvaginal study (76830) in one appointment, producing two billed exams.
- –Hospital imaging departments price this study well above independent centers and office-based machines.
- –An inadequately filled bladder can force rebooking, effectively costing a second visit.
- –A limited pelvic ultrasound is a cheaper code when only one structure needs a follow-up look.
- –Separate professional reading fees apply where radiologists interpret off-site.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Is a complete study needed, or is this a follow-up that qualifies for the cheaper limited code?
- 2.Will a transvaginal exam likely be added during the visit, and what would both together cost?
- 3.What are the bladder-filling instructions so I am not rebooked?
- 4.What is the price difference between your office, an imaging center, and the hospital?
- 5.What diagnosis is on the order to support coverage?

Ultrasound Pelvis in Nevada: questions
Under 2026 Medicare rates, an ultrasound pelvis costs up to 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 Nevada averages $105. Nevada is a single Medicare locality, so the physician rate is the same statewide.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Nevada 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 $6 for the hospital physician line in Nevada. 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, $105.02 is Medicare's full rate in Nevada, covering the test and the reading. In a hospital outpatient department the physician is paid only for the reading (about $32.18) and the hospital is paid separately, which brings the national total to up to about $139. Nevada ranks #34 of 51 states on the non-hospital rate (within 2% of the national office rate of $105.21).
