How much does an Ultrasound cost on average?

Without insurance, a patient should on average expect to pay $3000 for a Ultrasound. A considerable savings can be achieved if you schedule through Radiology Assist.
Why is the cost of an Ultrasound significantly lower through the program?
Radiology Assist was founded on the principle that health care should be affordable and accessible to everyone. The lower cost is achieved by convincing physicians and facilities to agree to accept a discounted rate to support the mission of the program. The wonderful physicians that participate in the program are the real ones to thank.
