New Jersey Medicare physician rate (2026)
+11.1% vs nationalAverage of 2 localities. Office range $127.23–$134.03.
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.

Ultrasound Transvaginal and how New Jersey is priced
New Jersey is split into two payment localities: northern New Jersey, which carries higher adjustments befitting its position in the New York metropolitan orbit, and the rest of the state to the south. Both localities price above the national average, but the northern one ranks among the more expensive in the country. The dividing line means a procedure in Bergen County is approved at a higher amount than the same one in Cherry Hill or along the shore. South Jersey's pricing gravity pulls toward Philadelphia even though its locality is its own.
New Jersey may be the ultimate cross-border care state: North Jersey residents flow into Manhattan hospitals, South Jersey residents into Philadelphia's academic centers, and the state's own large systems compete hard in between. Dense population means most residents have multiple hospitals within a short drive, which is real negotiating leverage for a cash-pay patient. The shore counties see seasonal population surges that strain capacity each summer.
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?
