I went to a business called Ultrasona, which specializes in 3D/4D elective ultrasounds. It's about $100 for a basic package, but of course you can choose more to include in your package. They also run specials all the time, so when I went, I got a 45 minute session, with 5 print outs of the 3D/4D, 20+ pictures put on a CD, a DVD of the ultrasound and a teddy bear that has LO's recording of his heartbeat sewn inside for $125.00.
For reference... a place by me has a basic package for around $100.. which just includes a relatively short session and a certain number of prints. The packages go up from there to over $300 for the full works- including a dvd for the whole session and all the pics on cd.
i found a deal for $69. All i want is gender identification. My tech at my OBs office couldn't determine the sex since the baby's legs were closed the whole time. So i found the cheapest package i could and got an extra $20 off if go on a wednesday evenig.
My area sucks, huge military town with TONS of babies being born here and I can't believe the pricing, it's price gouging at it's finest. The industry standard for a basic package here is $165, and that's WITH a military discount. It includes all kinds of bells and whistles, and all I want is a basic gender determination. Oh well. You gals are lucky where it's cheap!!
WOW i feel really lucky. My dr has an US machine in her office and the last two US i got they just switched the wand and it changed to 4D. Didn't have to pay anything extra and they printed off about 10 photos and put them on a cd for me (I provided CD) for no extra $. They just bill to my insurance
