Oklahoma Medicare physician rate (2026)

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 abdomen. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
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. 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 Oklahoma
Where Oklahoma ranks for this CPT
Ultrasound Abdomen and how Oklahoma is priced
Oklahoma is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices in the low national tier, so Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the rural southwest share a single set of Medicare-approved amounts. The state's two big metros hold most of its providers, but neither carries a separate locality premium. Low practice-cost indices keep Oklahoma's published rates among the more affordable in the fee schedule. What patients pay hinges mainly on care setting and insurance status rather than where in the state they live.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa split the state's specialty care between them, each with academic-affiliated medical centers and competing regional systems. Rural Oklahoma has struggled with hospital closures and physician recruitment, leaving long drives in the Panhandle and the southeast. Tribal health systems are a significant part of the care landscape, operating some of the larger rural facilities in the state.
This procedure: A complete abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves, no radiation, to examine the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and major vessels in one session. It is a first-line test for right-upper-belly pain, suspected gallstones, abnormal liver blood tests, and follow-up of known findings. You fast for several hours beforehand so the gallbladder is full, then lie on a table while a technologist glides a warm gel-covered probe over your abdomen for 20 to 30 minutes.
What Is Ultrasound Abdomen?
A complete abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves, no radiation, to examine the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and major vessels in one session. It is a first-line test for right-upper-belly pain, suspected gallstones, abnormal liver blood tests, and follow-up of known findings. You fast for several hours beforehand so the gallbladder is full, then lie on a table while a technologist glides a warm gel-covered probe over your abdomen for 20 to 30 minutes.
What Affects the Cost
- –Hospital outpatient ultrasound departments charge notably more than independent imaging centers and many physician offices.
- –The complete study covers all upper abdominal organs; a limited single-organ study is a cheaper code when only one question needs answering.
- –The sonographer's images are read by a radiologist whose professional fee may bill separately.
- –Poor views from bowel gas or body habitus occasionally force a repeat study or escalation to CT, adding cost.
- –Findings like gallstones frequently lead to surgical consultation, making this scan a common gateway to a larger episode.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Do I need the complete study, or would a limited single-organ ultrasound answer my question at a lower price?
- 2.What are your fasting instructions so the study does not have to be repeated?
- 3.Is the radiologist reading fee included in the quote?
- 4.What does this cost at your imaging center versus the hospital location?
- 5.If views are limited, would you move to CT, and what would that cost?

Ultrasound Abdomen in Oklahoma: questions
Oklahoma is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 76700 is $104.60 in an office and $104.60 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $104.60 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $221 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $171 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Oklahoma ranks #6 of 51 states on the physician line (8% below the national office rate of $114.23).
