Before you schedule
If you're facing a stress echocardiogram in Charlotte, the good news is prices are fairly stable across your options—the cash price ranges from about $1,400 to $1,463, which means you're looking at roughly the same out-of-pocket cost whether you choose one facility or another. What matters more right now is whether your insurance will actually cover this test and what your deductible or copay will be, since that's what you'll actually owe.
Before you schedule, call your insurance company and ask whether a stress echocardiogram is covered and what you'd pay out of pocket—this matters way more than the sticker price difference. Then call the hospital's billing department and ask for their cash price if you're uninsured or if paying cash turns out to be cheaper than your insurance cost. Ask specifically about financial assistance programs too, since you may qualify even if you have insurance.
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.
