Ultrasound Posted: 11-09-05 13:09pm


I'm not sure at what point the doctor can tell the sex of the baby by ultrasound but I went to my first doctors appt on the 1st of november and she said that my insurance will not cover an ultrasound unless the doctor feels that there is complication somewhere like not being able to hear the heatbeat or something like that. Is there anyone else that there insurance doesn't cover ultrasounds and is there anyway around it? How much does an ultrasound cost???

If your insurance doesn't cover it, you can see about going to a college that has a dms (diagnostic medical sonography) program and having the students practice on you. They have that at my school, but they prefer not to scan in the first trimester. I just think it's a good way to get around paying for an ultrasound.
