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, $374.24 across 305 hospitals, is 1.7× 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.
Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for treadmill stress test, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $616.00 and the lowest a median of $108.50. At 190 of 239 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CPT 93015?
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.

Common questions
What is CPT code 93015?
CPT 93015 is the billing code for treadmill or drug stress test with ECG, supervision and report. 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.
Is this the same as a nuclear stress test or stress echo?
No. Those add heart imaging, which is billed with separate imaging codes on top of the stress test.
How do I prepare?
Wear comfortable shoes and follow the clinic's instructions, which often include avoiding caffeine and food for a few hours; ask the ordering doctor before stopping any medicine.
How much does Medicare pay for CPT 93015 (Treadmill stress test)?
$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, $374.24 across 305 hospitals, is 1.7× that.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for treadmill stress test?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price.
