Understand ultrasound fees and the difference between examination types.
Published ultrasound fees average about £320 across 19 providers in our sample. This includes advertised guide or starting prices.
The included fees range from £125 to £352. The full bill depends on the package and your care plan.
Sample checked 10 September 2026. 32 fee records from 23 providers on this page. See exactly what the average includes.
We group matching procedure descriptions and units, exclude additional charges and price intervals, then calculate the arithmetic mean with equal weight for each provider. If a provider has several matching fees, its distinct fees are averaged first. Rounded to the nearest pound; original published amounts stay on the fee cards.
These are sampled advertised fees, including any starting or guide prices as labelled. They are not representative England-wide averages, personal quotes or a measure of care quality. Inclusions can still differ: check the fee cards before choosing.

An abdominal, pelvic, vascular or pregnancy scan should be compared with the same examination elsewhere. A general starting price may not cover your required investigation or a specialist reporting appointment.
FUNDING ROUTE
Ask your GP or treating professional whether this is an appropriate NHS-funded option and how to obtain a referral. Eligibility and clinical assessment determine the route. A private price is not evidence that you need the procedure, or that the same treatment is available through every NHS service.

BUDGET FOR THE WHOLE PLAN
Start with a published example or your own quote. Add only charges that are not already included. Blank items remain unpriced; they are not assumed to be free.
Enter a valid base price
An estimate using only the amounts entered. This is not a provider quote or a confirmed final bill.
Still check in the written planConfirm whether each blank item is included, payable separately or not needed. Agree any possible extra-treatment charges and cancellation terms.
Entries stay in this page. They are not saved to your account or sent to providers.
Ask each provider the same questions and keep the written plan, its issue date and its expiry date.
Ask the booking team which referral and previous results are needed. Follow the provider’s individual preparation instructions. Confirm when and how results will reach the professional responsible for explaining them and arranging the next step.
Ask for the exact service, clinician, location, dates and inclusions in writing. Check deposits, payment deadlines and what happens if the treatment plan changes. Keep clinical suitability separate from how the care will be funded.
Confirm who explains results, manages follow-up and provides a contact if you have concerns. Include repeat visits, medicines, travel and support at home in your plan where relevant. Ask who is responsible for arranging any next step.
Eligibility, clinical assessment and local arrangements determine the route. Dental charges and social-care funding follow their own rules. Confirm funding before agreeing to private treatment.
Explore funding and help with costsFor self-pay, request an itemised total, deposit and cancellation terms. For insurance, confirm authorisation, clinician and hospital recognition, excess and any benefit limits before booking. Recognition alone does not confirm your policy covers the treatment.
Provider guidance on checking payment arrangementsIf finance is offered, compare the total repayable, interest, fees and repayment period against paying directly. A monthly figure is not the treatment’s total cost. Keep NHS and private follow-up arrangements clear with the clinicians involved.
A fee does not establish clinical suitability, appointment availability or treatment quality. Review the service’s published evidence and practical arrangements as well.
Waiting-list statistics describe published records for a service or organisation. They do not predict your appointment date or the wait for the particular operation in this guide.
Check the exact package with the provider. Area and type of examination, Specialist interpretation, Report and follow-up appointment can affect the comparison. The price examples above retain the source’s unit and price basis; an unlisted inclusion has not been assumed to be free.
Ask your GP or treating professional whether this is an appropriate NHS-funded option and how to obtain a referral. Eligibility and clinical assessment determine the route. A private price is not evidence that you need the procedure, or that the same treatment is available through every NHS service. Check the official route.
Price alone cannot answer that. Discuss appropriate options with a qualified professional, then compare the same scope of care, relevant provider evidence, access arrangements and the full aftercare plan.
Ask a provider for a written quote using this guide’s checklist. Other towns’ prices and group-wide offers are examples, not local quotations. A local page can contain one verified provider’s fee: its coverage is stated clearly. Where available, we link to separately labelled prices in nearby places.
Compare MRI prices by body area, contrast and reporting arrangements.
Check which CT examination a price covers and how results are handled.
Check the body area, number of views and report behind an X-ray fee.
Compare bowel examination prices with preparation, sedation and laboratory fees in mind.
Checked 10 September 2026. We select public factual fee examples from providers’ own pages. There is no paid placement and we do not calculate market averages from this selection. A provider-group fee is labelled as such; it is not copied into every local area.
Price amounts are withheld when their source has not been checked within 90 days. The original source date stays visible and is not refreshed just because the website is rebuilt. A checked fee can still change: request a current written quote.
