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 Holter monitor, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $446.44 and the lowest a median of $103.02. At 114 of 143 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.

Common questions
What is CPT code 93224?
CPT 93224 is the billing code for Holter monitor, heart rhythm recording up to 48 hours, with report. A Holter monitor records your heart rhythm continuously for up to 48 hours while you go about your day. It is used for palpitations, fainting and suspected rhythm problems.
Can I shower with a Holter monitor?
Usually not; most monitors must stay dry. Newer patch monitors often allow showers.
What if my symptoms are rare?
A longer monitor, such as a patch worn for up to two weeks or an event monitor, may catch them better.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for Holter monitor?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for Holter monitor has a median of $446.44 and the lowest a median of $103.02; at 114 of 143 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.
Which states have the cheapest Holter monitor?
Among 13 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Louisiana ($68.74), Missouri ($121.80) and Tennessee ($178.66), and highest in Ohio ($558.75), Iowa ($502.00) and Montana ($408.00). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
