About Prenatal Ultrasound
A prenatal (obstetric) ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the developing baby during pregnancy. It is used to confirm pregnancy, estimate due date, check fetal growth and position, and screen for certain birth defects. Most pregnancies include at least one detailed anatomy scan around 18-22 weeks.
Understanding Your Bill
Prenatal ultrasound billing includes a technical fee and physician interpretation. A detailed anatomy scan costs more than a limited or follow-up scan. 3D/4D ultrasounds may not be covered by insurance.
