In Nebraska, the median cash price for Echocardiogram is $1,481.34 across 17 hospitals, from $169.68 to $2,535.50. The lowest is at Alegent Creighton Health (Plainview). The US median is $1,601.57.

Heart tests range from a quick ECG (93000) to an echocardiogram (93306), an exercise stress test (93015) and imaging stress tests such as a stress echo (93351) or a nuclear scan (78452). The price depends on which test is ordered and on what the code covers, since some codes include the doctor's interpretation and others do not. If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath or fainting right now, call 911 instead of scheduling a test.

Paying cash: what to do

  • For a nuclear stress test, ask for the total including the tracer, the stress portion and the interpretation, since the imaging code is only one piece.
  • Ask whether the cardiologist's interpretation is included; in hospitals an ECG is often split into the tracing (93005) and the reading (93010).
  • Insurance often does not cover a coronary calcium score, so many imaging centers set a flat self-pay price; compare several.
