Scan Costs

in Christchurch we pay $50 for every ultra sound scan we have. Im just curious as to how much other people pay around the country.

I paid $50 at the one place (had two there)

Then $25 at another place and I got a free dvd and some photos with it.

Then I paid $50 at another place without referral and that was for a 4D scan with a DVD and some photos.

The free place just never ever got back to me. That after leaving a few messages and it was an urgent scan that needed to be done. Same with the second time so aint going to waste time. Rather just pay with money instead of stress or high BP

I've paid $25 for every scan I've had done.
I had one in 2004, and two in 2007, so the price hadn't changed in that time.

I was given a sheet of films with the 2004 one and a disc with photos with both the 2007 ones. DH was also given a photo print-out at the 12 week scan with Hannah

Worth every penny!

NT scan was $40 but all other scans were free.

At medex Tauranga the first scan is free. Then every other scan is $30 up to 5 scans. After that its free again.

I got cd discs with every scan and a picture with the 12 week one.

Auckland radiology are $35 with a referral not sure howmuch without one

Leahsmummy, yeah, scans have gone up $10 in the last month or so. My midwife said it would be $40 when she gave me the referral at 6 weeks, but when I booked it the lady said they are now $50. Bit stink, but oh well.
Apparently you can get them done at the hospital for free, without a photo, but last time I had a scan done at the hospital (not maternity related, but the same people) I ended up waiting for 90 minutes beyond my appointment time and it was torture on my poor bladder! So I'd rather pay the $50 to get the photo and to not have to wait for hours (emergencies get bumped in front at the hospital- fair enough, but can make for a long wait!). I've got the first appt of the day at the scan place on Wednesday, so hopefully should all be on time

We paid $30-$40 (can't remember exact) for the 12 weeks one @ Pacific Radiology, but the 20 week one was free

Same here - are you using Insight as well? Insight is more expensive than other places, but specialises in obstretric scans (is that the right term?) .

Yup we are using Insight. I know they are expensive, but love that they have all the cool gadgets.
It was awesome going there for my first scan with this baby and having them remember me from my scans with Samantha too
