Cardiac procedure prices vary because cardiac testing combines equipment time, a cardiologist's interpretation, and sometimes a technician's supervision — and hospitals bundle these components differently. A stress test billed as a single line item at one hospital might be three separate charges at another. Hospital cardiology departments also price differently than standalone cardiology clinics, which typically carry less overhead. Medicare negotiates significantly lower rates for cardiac tests than most commercial insurers, which creates wide gaps between what different patients pay for identical tests. Before you schedule, ask whether the quoted price includes the cardiologist's read, and whether a standalone cardiology clinic in your area offers the same test.
