Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 93000 — Electrocardiogram, routine, with interpretation). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.
Where this data comes from & what CPT 93000 covers
Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 93000 (Electrocardiogram, routine, with interpretation), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.
What CPT 93000 covers: the provider's professional fee for ecg / ekg. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.
How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why ECG / EKG Visit Costs Vary Across Arizona
Arizona's healthcare costs run approximately 5% above the national average, reflecting the state's growing population and increasing demand for specialty services. The state's unique mix of retirees, winter visitors, and young families creates seasonal fluctuations in healthcare utilization that can affect appointment availability and pricing.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Phoenix and Tucson metro areas concentrate most of Arizona's ECG / EKG specialists, while rural counties like Apache and Greenlee rely heavily on telemedicine and traveling providers. This geographic disparity means rural patients may face longer wait times but potentially lower facility fees compared to urban medical centers.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics affiliated with Banner Health, Dignity Health, or HonorHealth typically charge higher facility fees than independent cardiology practices in Arizona. Academic medical centers like those associated with University of Arizona may have additional teaching hospital surcharges that affect ECG / EKG visit costs.
Insurance Market Competition in Arizona
The competitive landscape between UnitedHealthCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, and Aetna has created relatively favorable negotiated rates for ECG / EKG services. However, some rural areas have limited insurer participation, potentially resulting in higher out-of-pocket costs for patients with less common insurance plans.
Physician Supply and Demand in Arizona
With over 6,400 active ECG / EKG providers serving Arizona's 7.3 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas. This robust provider network helps keep costs competitive and reduces wait times, though demand surges during winter months when seasonal residents return to the desert.
