Oregon Medicare physician rate (2026)
+3.9% vs nationalAverage of 2 localities. Office range $104.39–$114.15.
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 Oregon the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $76.60.

Ultrasound Pelvis and how Oregon is priced
Oregon splits into a Portland metro locality and a rest-of-state locality, so the fee schedule prices the Willamette Valley's biggest market above Eugene, Bend, Medford, and the rural east. Portland's higher wages and office costs justify the premium, while the rest-of-state locality covers everything from the coast to the high desert at lower adjustments. The two-tier structure means an identical procedure is approved at different amounts on either side of the metro boundary. Oregon's overall indices sit somewhat above the national midpoint, led by the Portland side.
Portland concentrates the state's academic medicine and subspecialty care, drawing patients from all of Oregon and southwest Washington. Bend has grown into a notable central Oregon hub, and Medford serves the southern counties, but the eastern two thirds of the state remains sparsely served, with some residents closer to Boise than to Portland. Coastal communities also face limited local procedure options.
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?

After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $22 for the office physician line or $7 for the hospital physician line in Oregon. 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, $109.27 is Medicare's full rate in Oregon, covering the test and the reading. In a hospital outpatient department the physician is paid only for the reading (about $32.67) and the hospital is paid separately, which brings the national total to up to about $139. Oregon ranks #42 of 51 states on the non-hospital rate (4% above the national office rate of $105.21).
