California law (Health and Safety Code §127405): if you are uninsured or have high medical costs and your family income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, a hospital may not expect you to pay more than it would expect from Medicare or Medi-Cal, whichever is greater. That can be less than the cash prices below; ask the hospital for its discount payment policy. A separate physician fee may still apply. Other states' laws.
Cardioversion uses a controlled electric shock, given under sedation, to reset an abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation. An elective cardioversion is planned in advance and is done in a hospital or procedure unit in under an hour, with a few hours of observation afterward. It is billed under code 92960. If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath or fainting right now, call 911.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for the total: the procedure, sedation, the cardiologist and any test done before it, such as an echocardiogram.
- Ask whether the price covers the recovery area and observation time.
- Ask your cardiologist whether a hospital outpatient department or a procedure center will do the procedure.
