Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated and 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

A stress test records your heart's electrical activity (ECG) while you walk on a treadmill or ride a bike, or after a medicine that makes the heart work harder. It is ordered to check for heart problems such as blocked arteries, often after chest pain.

What the price covers

This global code covers the test itself plus the supervising clinician and the doctor's interpretation and report. Heart imaging with the test (echo or nuclear) and any stress medicine are billed with other codes.
