Common questions
How much does stress echocardiogram cost at a hospital in Texas?
At 17 Texas hospitals that publish a cash price, the typical price for stress echocardiogram is $2,856, and most charge between $1,421 and $9,145. The typical rate commercial insurers have negotiated is $895. These are hospital prices; independent clinics, imaging centers and labs often charge less.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for stress echocardiogram?
At 1 of the 13 hospitals in Texas that publish both, the cash price is lower than the typical insurer rate. Remember that with insurance you pay only your share of that rate once your deductible is met, and that cash payments usually don't count toward your deductible.
Which hospital in Texas has the lowest cash price for stress echocardiogram?
Of the hospitals whose price files we have read, the lowest published cash price is $352 at Ut Health East Texas Tyler Regional Hospital. Confirm the price with the hospital before you book.
Does the price include the doctor?
No. These are the hospital's own charges, often called the facility fee. The doctors involved, such as the surgeon, the anesthesiologist or the radiologist who reads a scan, usually send a separate bill.
Before you go
- Ask for an estimate. Hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written good-faith estimate before planned care.
- Check the network. Confirm that the hospital and the doctors are in your plan's network.
- Ask about financial help. Non-profit hospitals must have a financial assistance policy; many discount or forgive bills by income.
- Get an itemized bill. Compare it with the estimate and question anything you don't recognise.
