Ultrasound price in South Carolina

Regional cost index used for South Carolina: 0.93 (1.00 is the US average). That ranks South Carolina number 17 of 51 from lowest to highest cost. The low end of the range is typical of a clinic or provider that competes on price; the high end is typical of a hospital, a specialist or a big-city practice. Prices in your own town can sit outside the range, so call two or three providers and ask for the self-pay price.
