# Ultrasound, abdomen, complete in Atlanta, GA Billing code `76700`. Prices for this code at 26 hospitals within 35 miles of Atlanta, taken from the machine-readable standard charge files each hospital is required to publish under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR 180.50). Source page: https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/atlanta/ultrasound-abdomen-complete HC US, ABDOM,B-SCAN &/OR REAL TIME,COMPLETE - US ABDOMEN ## Before quoting any figure below - **Hospital charges only.** The surgeon, anaesthetist, radiologist and pathologist bill separately and appear in no hospital price file, by construction. Every figure below is part of a total, never the total. - **A negotiated rate is not a bill.** It is what a hospital and an insurer agreed. What a patient owes depends on their deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum. - **Each hospital's figure is a median across its own plans.** The spread inside one hospital is often wider than the gap between two of them. - **"not mentioned" is not $0.** It means this hospital's file does not label a row that way. Silence is not a statement that the charge does not exist. - **A hospital absent from the table says nothing about its prices.** It may publish this code under a revenue or drug code this site cannot map to a procedure. A procedure code is billed twice -- once by the hospital for its own costs, once by the doctor for their work -- and hospitals publish different sides of that split under the same code. Of the hospitals here, 11 publish a facility charge; 1 publish both, mixed together; 14 do not label which half the figure is. ## Typical price | | Amount | |---|---| | Cheapest tenth | $128 | | Typical | $285 | | Dearest tenth | $734 | The cheapest and dearest tenth are the hospitals a tenth of the way in from each end, not the single cheapest and dearest. Every hospital, including both extremes, is in the table below. That is a 6-fold difference for the same billing code, between hospitals within 35 miles of each other -- a gap between hospitals, not between treatments. ## Every hospital publishing this code | Hospital | Where | CMS rating | Typical | Facility charge | Physician fee | Self-pay | Lowest | Highest | Plans on file | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Grady Memorial Hospital | ATLANTA (6.1 mi) | 2/5 | see split | $286 | $63 | $2,181 | $36 | $1,745 | 122 | | Southern Regional Medical Center | RIVERDALE (19.7 mi) | 1/5 | $107 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $104 | $99 | $1,739 | 41 | | Emory Hillandale Hospital | LITHONIA (16.0 mi) | 1/5 | $116 | $116 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $105 | $280 | 17 | | Emory University Hospital | ATLANTA (3.6 mi) | 4/5 | $139 | $139 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $105 | $280 | 19 | | Emory Johns Creek Hospital | JOHNS CREEK (17.9 mi) | 4/5 | $139 | $139 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $106 | $280 | 19 | | Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta | ATLANTA (3.2 mi) | 3/5 | $139 | $139 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $106 | $280 | 19 | | Emory University Hospital Midtown | ATLANTA (4.7 mi) | 2/5 | $139 | $139 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $106 | $280 | 19 | | Emory Decatur Hospital | DECATUR (4.8 mi) | 2/5 | $139 | $139 | not mentioned | $2,352 | $105 | $280 | 19 | | WellStar Paulding Medical Center | HIRAM (23.5 mi) | 4/5 | $190 | $190 | not mentioned | $732 | $106 | $399 | 13 | | WellStar Douglas Medical Center | DOUGLASVILLE (24.5 mi) | 3/5 | $190 | $190 | not mentioned | $732 | $105 | $400 | 13 | | WellStar Kennestone Regional Medical Center | MARIETTA (12.1 mi) | 4/5 | $190 | $190 | not mentioned | $732 | $106 | $399 | 13 | | WellStar North Fulton Medical Center | ROSWELL (13.5 mi) | 2/5 | $190 | $190 | not mentioned | $732 | $106 | $405 | 13 | | WellStar Cobb Medical Center | AUSTELL (15.4 mi) | 3/5 | $190 | $190 | not mentioned | $732 | $106 | $414 | 13 | | Northside Hospital Forsyth | CUMMING (29.4 mi) | 4/5 | $285 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,305 | $75 | $1,740 | 402 | | Northside Hospital Cherokee | CANTON (25.4 mi) | 4/5 | $285 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,305 | $75 | $1,740 | 408 | | Northside Hospital | ATLANTA (3.2 mi) | 3/5 | $316 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,305 | $75 | $1,740 | 405 | | Northside Hospital Duluth | DULUTH (15.5 mi) | 4/5 | $331 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,305 | $75 | $1,740 | 423 | | Northside Hospital Gwinnett | LAWRENCEVILLE (25.8 mi) | 3/5 | $331 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,305 | $75 | $1,740 | 423 | | Piedmont Fayette Hospital | FAYETTEVILLE (25.0 mi) | 3/5 | $364 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $581 | $123 | $1,647 | 16 | | Piedmont Henry Hospital | STOCKBRIDGE (21.0 mi) | 2/5 | $364 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $581 | $123 | $1,647 | 16 | | Piedmont Hospital | ATLANTA (3.0 mi) | 4/5 | $364 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $581 | $123 | $1,647 | 16 | | Piedmont Rockdale Hospital | CONYERS (22.2 mi) | 3/5 | $390 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $581 | $123 | $1,453 | 16 | | Piedmont Eastside Medical Center | SNELLVILLE (19.7 mi) | 2/5 | $426 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $581 | $123 | $1,743 | 15 | | Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica | VILLA RICA (33.1 mi) | 3/5 | $1,041 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $1,041 | $377 | $1,614 | 17 | | Athur M Blank Hospital | ATLANTA (2.3 mi) | not rated | $1,136 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $2,128 | $571 | $2,128 | 56 | | Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite | ATLANTA (3.2 mi) | not rated | $1,136 | not mentioned | not mentioned | $2,128 | $559 | $2,128 | 56 | ## Self-pay Self-pay is what the hospital charges someone paying themselves rather than through insurance. Paying self-pay usually does not count toward a deductible, so it can cost less for one service and more across a year. Every other figure here is what an insurer pays, not what a patient would. At 1 of the 26 hospitals here that publish a self-pay price it is LOWER than what that same hospital typically accepts from an insurer; at the other 25 it is higher. ## The doctor's side, roughly Nationally, Medicare allows about $38 for the clinician who performs or reads this service, across 6,643 billing providers in 2024. That is a separate bill from everything above and is NOT added to any figure on this page -- it is here to show the rough size of what a hospital price leaves out. 1 of these 26 hospitals have not published an updated price file in over a year, or do not say when they last did. Hospitals are required to update at least annually, so those figures may not reflect what they charge now: Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica. ## Others in imaging & radiology - [CT scan, head, without contrast](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/ct-scan-head-without-contrast) -- 116 hospitals, typically $392 - [X-ray, chest, 2 views](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-chest-2-views) -- 115 hospitals, typically $93 - [CT scan, head, with and without contrast](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/ct-scan-head-with-and-without-contrast) -- 115 hospitals, typically $521 - [X-ray, chest, 1 view](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-chest-1-view) -- 115 hospitals, typically $87 - [X-ray, neck spine, 2-3 views](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-neck-spine-2-3-views) -- 115 hospitals, typically $106 - [X-ray, lower back spine, 4 or more views](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-lower-back-spine-4-or-more-views) -- 115 hospitals, typically $143 - [X-ray, pelvis](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-pelvis) -- 115 hospitals, typically $107 - [X-ray, tailbone](https://clearcharge.org/price/ga/x-ray-tailbone) -- 115 hospitals, typically $98 --- Every procedure with a published price in GA: https://clearcharge.org/price/ga Prices that look wrong: info@clearcharge.org Compiled by Clearcharge (clearcharge.org) from each hospital's machine-readable standard-charge file.
