What a carotid artery scan costs in Maine, without a referral and without a facility fee.
The Short Answer
A carotid duplex ultrasound at BlackPoint is $397 at our Falmouth imaging center, or $597 on-site at your home or workplace in Southern Maine. No facility fee, no separate reading fee, no referral needed.
We publish the price because most places do not. If you have called a hospital and been told the cost depends on your plan, your deductible and which department does the billing, that is the difference.
Included
HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Payment plans are available at checkout.
The Study
A carotid ultrasound scans the two arteries in your neck that carry blood to your brain. It looks for plaque and narrowing that raise stroke risk. The study takes 30 to 45 minutes and uses sound waves only — no needles, no radiation.

Carotid ultrasound is generally directed at people with established risk factors, such as a prior TIA or stroke, a carotid bruit, or significant vascular disease elsewhere. Your physician is the right person to decide whether it applies to you.
