Compared with Medicare
$220.60 is Medicare's 2026 national base rate for this service in a hospital outpatient department, including the patient's share and before the local wage adjustment. The median hospital cash price, $233.00 across 269 hospitals, is 1.1× that.
Researchers often measure hospital prices as a multiple of Medicare's rate, and it is a concrete number to mention when you ask a hospital for a cash discount. Source: CMS.
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.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospital outpatient departments and cardiology offices, and hospitals sometimes bill the test and the doctor's parts under separate codes.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 93015 includes the doctor's supervision and report, and whether any imaging will be added.
