Ultrasound Cost in New Hampshire (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a ultrasound cost in New Hampshire?

Where you have an ultrasound done in New Hampshire swings the bill from $53 to $78 for identical care. The median cash price across 24 reporting hospitals is $64. The numbers are pulled directly from federally mandated hospital price transparency files.

New Hampshire prices for an ultrasound span 56.2× across 24 reporting hospitals, from $51 (MaineHealth in North Conway) up to $2,865 (Cheshire Medical Center in Keene) for identical care. The median New Hampshire price is $64. Most facilities fall between $52 and $78. There's a gap between the sticker and the real price here: a median cash quote of $64 sits above the $61 insurers negotiate.

The same ultrasound can be one bill or two — and the radiologist can be out-of-network even when the facility isn't.

The free toolkit shows you:

  • ✓ Why a facility splits into a technical bill and a separate radiologist bill (and an office bills one global fee)
  • ✓ How the radiologist who reads your images can be out-of-network even at an in-network facility
  • ✓ Why a hospital outpatient department costs far more than an independent imaging center
  • ✓ How a complete vs. limited study changes the price — and the questions to ask first
  • ✓ A real patient billing breakdown, line by line

Forecast your out-of-pocket cost

How prices are distributed across New Hampshire hospitals:
  • Lower-cost hospitals (bottom 25%): under $52
  • Median hospital: $64
  • Higher-cost hospitals (top 30%): $78+

That's a 2× spread for the same procedure — driven entirely by which facility you choose, not by clinical complexity.

Example — two commercially insured patients in Manchester:
  • Patient A (higher-rate plan or out-of-network): ~$78
  • Patient B (lower-rate in-network plan): ~$53
Same procedure. Same week. $25 difference.

Worth knowing: A small number of hospitals report very high prices above $117, which pulls the overall range wider than what most patients encounter. The typical range above is a better guide for planning.
Every hospital in this dataset offers a cash price — with a median of $64. If your deductible hasn't been met, always ask for the self-pay rate before scheduling.

What you'll actually pay — example scenarios

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met (pay in full) ~$64
Deductible met — 20% coinsurance ~$13
Out-of-network provider $141+

Based on the state median facility price of $64. Your actual cost depends on your plan deductible, coinsurance rate, and network tier. Get YOUR personalized estimate →

What this means for you

If you haven't met your deductible, you are effectively a cash-pay patient.

That means:

  • You should verify your hospital is in-network before an elective visit when possible
  • The cheapest facility can save you $26+ vs. the median.

This is the single biggest lever most patients have to reduce their cost.

Lower-cost options in New Hampshire start around $52 or below. Most hospitals cluster between $52 and $78. A smaller group reports prices above that — often academic medical centers or high-cost markets.

If you're comparing specific hospitals, the lowest self-pay rates reported in this dataset include: MaineHealth in North Conway (cash price from $51); Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Lebanon (cash price from $51); PORTSMOUTH REGIONAL HOSPITAL in Portsmouth (cash price from $51). These are declared cash prices — contact each facility for a formal quote before scheduling.

How where you go changes what you pay for ultrasound

The same ultrasound bundles different services depending on the setting — facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Hospital Outpatient
$126–$1,162
  • Facility fee $51–$690
  • Professional fee $75–$472

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$113–$1,162
  • Facility fee $38–$690
  • Professional fee $75–$472

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Quick decision guide:
  • Best value hospitals (lowest prices): Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Concord: $38; MaineHealth: $51; Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital: $51
  • Most expensive (outpatient): VALLEY REGIONAL HOSPITAL: ~$224; Huggins Hospital: ~$123

→ Choosing the right facility can save $26+ vs. the state median.

New Hampshire Ultrasound prices by facility

All prices below come from hospital chargemasters — the official price lists each hospital must publish under federal law. Gross charge is the undiscounted list price; cash price is the self-pay rate; negotiated range covers the spread across insurance contracts.

How we calculate "Your Price" — We prioritize the most actionable price in this order:
  1. Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
  2. Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
  3. Gross charge — fallback only; this is the inflated list price few people pay

This reflects the real prices patients encounter — not inflated chargemaster rates.

How to choose a lower-cost facility

  • Choose independent outpatient centers when possible — freestanding ASCs (ambulatory surgical centers) consistently charge less than hospital outpatient departments for identical procedures.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met — self-pay rates are often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied, especially at facilities that have a high cash-price discount.
  • Avoid hospital outpatient departments for routine cases — hospital-owned locations add a facility fee that freestanding centers don't charge, often adding $500–$1,500 to the same procedure.
Important: Many procedures are done at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) that are often 30–60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments with the same clinical quality. Most ASCs are not in this hospital dataset — meaning your cheapest option may not even appear here. Ask your doctor if the procedure can be done at a freestanding ASC.

Why prices vary this much

A small number of hospitals (3) report very high prices above $117, which drives much of the overall price range. Excluding these, most facilities cluster in a significantly tighter band.

Setting drives much of the gap in New Hampshire: the median outpatient price is $64 versus $78 inpatient — about 1.2× more, so where a procedure is performed often matters more than which hospital you choose. Of the New Hampshire facilities reporting prices, 8 fall in a low-cost tier (up to $52) while 8 sit in a high-cost tier ($78 and up) — a lower-priced option almost always exists within the same state.

The spread comes from how each hospital sets its chargemaster (the undiscounted list price), what cash discounts it applies, and what rates it negotiates with each insurer. Facility classification matters too — a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. Understanding these mechanics is the first step to paying less.

How insurance changes what you actually pay

Hospital list prices are only part of the picture. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility is in-network, and whether your plan classifies the visit as outpatient or inpatient. A lower gross charge doesn't guarantee a lower bill if the facility is out-of-network or adds facility fees your plan doesn't cover.

Frequently asked questions: ultrasound costs in New Hampshire

How much does an ultrasound cost in New Hampshire?

Across 24 New Hampshire hospitals that publish prices, an ultrasound ranges from $51 to $2,865, with a median of $64. Most facilities fall between $52 and $78. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get an ultrasound in New Hampshire?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our New Hampshire data is Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Concord in Concord at about $38. By metro, Manchester has the lowest median ($58). Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data — ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is an ultrasound so much cheaper at some New Hampshire hospitals?

Prices vary up to 56.2× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In New Hampshire, the median cash (self-pay) price is $64 versus a median negotiated rate of $61 — about 1× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for an ultrasound in New Hampshire?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network — not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

Where You Get an Ultrasound Matters

Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2–4× more than ASCs or independent centers for the same procedure — same outcome, very different bill.

Hospital Outpatient Department

Hospital Outpatient Department typically carries a higher price for an ultrasound. Facility fee billed separately from professional fee. Provider-based billing adds facility overhead. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Independent Imaging Center

Independent Imaging Center typically carries the lowest typical price for an ultrasound. Freestanding radiology centers. Technical component billed by center; professional (radiologist read) billed separately. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Physician Office

Physician Office typically carries the lowest typical price for an ultrasound. Professional fee only. No separate facility fee unless provider-based designation.

Emergency Room Ultrasound

An Ultrasound performed in the emergency department can run 2–5× the cost of the identical scan at an outpatient or independent facility, because a hospital facility fee stacks on top. Use the ER only when the situation is medically urgent — it is not a setting where you can shop on price.

Ultrasound Cost by Type

Which type your doctor orders changes the billing code — and what you pay. Here's how the common types differ.

Abdominal Ultrasound

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 76700 complete / 76705 limited.

Pelvic Ultrasound

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe.

Pregnancy (OB) Ultrasound

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. Often performed in-office and billed globally.

Retroperitoneal Ultrasound

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 76770 complete / 76775 limited.

This Procedure Is Shoppable — Choosing the Right Facility Can Save Thousands

Ultrasound is elective and schedulable. You have time to compare facilities — and hospital outpatient prices often run 2–4× higher than Hospital OP, Imaging Center, Office for identical clinical outcomes.

How to shop: Ask your doctor for the CPT code, then call 2–3 facilities and request an out-of-pocket cost estimate. Confirm your insurance is accepted. If uninsured, ask for the cash-pay rate — it's usually 20–50% below the list price.

Who performs this: Ultrasound is typically performed by a Radiology. The specialist's professional fee is billed separately from the facility charge — you will likely receive separate bills from each.
