Cardioversion cost in Maryland without insurance

In Maryland, the median cash price for Cardioversion is $26.53 across 12 hospitals, from $9.77 to $935.10. The lowest is at MedStar St. Mary's Hospital (Leonardtown). The US median is $1,145.00.

Why Maryland prices look low: Maryland is the only state where a commission (the HSCRC) sets hospital rates for every payer, so its hospitals publish prices far below the rest of the country. A separate physician fee may still apply.

Maryland law (Health-General §19-214.1) requires hospitals to give free medically necessary care to patients with family income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level and to cut the bill by 75% up to 250% and 60% up to 300%. With medical debt above 25% of family income in a year, discounts reach up to 500%. Immigration status does not count. Ask the hospital for its financial assistance application. 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.
