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 self-paying for your stress echocardiogram in Norfolk, the cash price difference between the cheapest and most expensive option is about $215—roughly 20 percent of what you'd pay at the high end. That's real money, but it's a narrower gap than you'd see in many other cities, which means you're not facing wildly different quotes across your six local options. The bigger question is whether your insurance will cover most of it; call your insurance company before you call the hospitals, because your out-of-pocket cost depends far more on your deductible and copay than on which hospital you choose.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at any hospital you're considering and ask for the cash price for a stress echocardiogram—the lowest you've found is around $1,065, so you'll know immediately if they're quoting you higher. If cost is tight, ask whether they offer financial assistance; many cardiac patients qualify for help you'd never know about unless you ask. You also want to confirm with your cardiologist or the ordering doctor whether any specific hospital is preferred for your particular situation.
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.
