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

This code is the hospital's part of an exercise stress test, the treadmill test with a running EKG, without the doctor's supervision and report. Clinics bill the whole test under 93015.

What the price covers

The price covers the test and recording. The doctor's supervision and report are billed separately, and imaging such as a nuclear scan (78452) or stress echo (93351) is extra.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 93017 ($818.10). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
