What is Pregnancy Ultrasound (limited)? Read the full explainer →

Pregnancy Ultrasound (limited)

This is a short, focused pregnancy ultrasound that answers one or two specific questions rather than surveying the whole pregnancy. It is the quick look used to check a heartbeat, confirm the baby's position, or estimate the amount of fluid. Because it is limited rather than complete, it is a different code and a lower charge than the full anatomy scan.
