Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is not below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. 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.
