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 shopping for a stress echocardiogram in Newport News, your cash price will likely fall between $1,065 and $1,280 depending on which hospital you choose—a difference of about $215. That's not huge, but it's meaningful enough that a quick call to your top two options could save you real money, especially if you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible. The variation suggests these hospitals price this test differently, so the lowest option isn't necessarily lower quality.
Before you schedule, call the billing departments at the hospitals you're considering and ask for the cash price for a stress echocardiogram—mention that you want to compare. If your insurance covers this, verify your out-of-pocket cost after your deductible and coinsurance, since the gross charges billed to insurance will be higher. If money is tight, ask whether the hospital offers financial assistance based on income; eligibility can cut what you owe significantly.
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.
