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

Best value Riverside Walter Reed Hospital — $977 4★ CMS rating
You could save $7,424 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $2,471 — prices near Richmond are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

Your echocardiogram cost in Richmond can vary wildly depending on where you go—the cheapest cash price we're tracking is around $1,200, but the most expensive is over $7,400 for the same procedure. That's a six-fold difference, which means choosing the right facility could save you thousands out of pocket, especially if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. Since you're comparing hospitals right now, this is exactly the time to call around and get a real quote for your specific scan.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at each hospital you're considering and ask for their cash price for a complete echocardiogram—don't assume their gross charges (what they bill insurance) tell you what you'd pay. Also ask whether they offer financial assistance if cost is a concern; many people qualify without realizing it. Once you have two or three actual quotes in front of you, you'll know exactly what your out-of-pocket choice is.

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.

1

"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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
