In response to a comment on his post, the author wrote: "According to newchoicehealth.com, an abdominal ultrasound in a major American city costs $340 on average at the cheapest service providers. At hospitals it’s much more expensive – $1350 at the Massachusetts General Hospital. And that’s just the ultrasound — without the ER fees, the blood tests, the surgeon consultation, etc, that I also received in Munich. So I think 265 euros is extremely cheap."
