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
You're looking at stress echocardiograms in Alexandria, and here's what matters most right now: the cash price for this procedure swings wildly — from around $944 to nearly $3,720 depending on which hospital you choose. That's almost a four-fold difference for the same test. The median price hovers near $1,389, which means half the hospitals charge less and half charge more. If your insurance hasn't fully explained what you'll owe out-of-pocket, or if you're uninsured or considering self-pay, this range is significant enough that a few phone calls could save you hundreds of dollars.
Here's what to do before you schedule: call the billing department at whichever hospital your cardiologist recommended and ask for the cash price for a stress echocardiogram — don't assume their gross charges tell you what you'd actually pay. Once you have that number, call at least one or two other hospitals in Alexandria and compare. If cost is a real concern, ask whether the hospital offers financial assistance based on income; some do, and you won't know unless you ask directly.
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 Stress Echocardiogram?"
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.
