What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
If you're planning an echocardiogram in Alexandria, shop around — prices for this test vary five-fold across the area, from about $1,400 to over $7,100 for a cash price. The two INOVA hospitals in the area (Alexandria and Mount Vernon) both charge $2,230 as their cash price, which is right at the median for the city. That's actually slightly lower than the statewide average of $2,513, so if you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, these facilities won't hit you with an outlier bill. INOVA Alexandria has better patient ratings (70 percent) if you have a choice between the two.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your cardiologist recommends and confirm they honor the cash price for your specific echo — sometimes they apply different rates depending on the exact type of imaging you need. Ask whether that cash price includes the technician and physician interpretation, or if those are billed separately. If cost is a real concern, get a few quotes from the lower-priced facilities in the range to see if the $1,400 option is actually available to you, not just listed on paper.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Echocardiogram Complete?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
