Government option: GMCH Guwahati (Gauhati Medical College & Hospital), Rs 500 (published tariff). The type of study and add-ons such as contrast, sedation, implants or biopsy change the final bill.
Where is an ultrasound scan cheapest in Guwahati?
The lowest actual price listed on this page is Rs 500 at GMCH Guwahati (Gauhati Medical College & Hospital) (published tariff, checked 3 October 2026). It is a subsidised government rate, so expect a queue and less choice of slot. Prices change, so confirm the current rate with the facility before you go.
What does an ultrasound scan cost at GMCH Guwahati (Gauhati Medical College & Hospital)?
Rs 500 for an ultrasound of the whole abdomen, according to GMCH ‘Service List’ (Available Services with rates at GMCH, Guwahati) – gmch.assam.gov.in (published tariff). Colour Doppler: Rs 850 (published tariff). Expect a waiting list and confirm the current rate before you go.
Why do pregnancy scans cost more than an abdominal ultrasound?
Anomaly and growth scans take longer, need more measurements and are often done by a specialist, so they are priced higher than a routine abdominal scan.
Does insurance or Ayushman Bharat cover it?
Health insurance usually pays when the procedure is part of a hospital admission or an approved day-care claim; purely outpatient tests depend on your policy’s OPD cover. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY covers listed packages at empanelled hospitals for eligible families, and diagnostic scans are generally paid as part of an admitted package rather than as standalone outpatient tests. Ask the hospital’s insurance or scheme desk before the procedure, not at billing.
