I had my u/s done privately at up to 16w they were $130 and I got $114 back from Medicare. The 20w u/s was $165 but I got $149 back from Medicare.

As for OBs they all charge differently. I am going private and am being charged $2400 all up. I have so far paid $1710 and got $1386 back from Medicare. I have my second installment to pay again soon. I am going to a private hospital which will cost me $280 out of pocket, since I have an excess on my private health fund. I know that I still have to pay for the paediatician and the anaethetist as well, since I will be having a c/s.

Make sure you sign up for the medicare safety net, it has saved me heaps.
