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.

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.

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.
