Cash or insurance?
At 3 of 3 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 1 it is below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the heart's electrical activity using 12 or more stickers placed on the chest, arms and legs. It checks heart rhythm and signs of heart strain or past heart attacks. This code includes the doctor's interpretation and report.
What the price covers
93000 covers both recording the tracing and the interpretation. In hospitals the tracing (93005) and interpretation (93010) are often billed separately, so the listed price may not match.
