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 Maine
ECG / EKG costs in Maine run approximately 12% above national averages, reflecting the state's rural geography and limited provider competition in many regions. The concentration of cardiac specialists in Portland and Bangor creates cost disparities between urban and rural areas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Greater Portland and Bangor areas offer multiple cardiology options with competitive pricing, while rural counties like Aroostook and Washington may have only one or two ECG / EKG providers within reasonable driving distance. This geographic isolation often leads to higher costs due to reduced competition and increased travel expenses for patients.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Maine Medical Center and Eastern Maine Medical Center operate large cardiology departments with higher facility fees compared to independent practices throughout the state. Critical access hospitals in rural Maine may charge differently than urban medical centers due to federal reimbursement structures and lower patient volumes.
Insurance Market Competition in Maine
The dominance of Anthem, Harvard Pilgrim, and UHC creates relatively stable negotiated rates, though limited insurer competition can result in higher premiums and cost-sharing for patients. Rural areas often have fewer insurance options, reducing competitive pressure on provider rates.
Physician Supply and Demand in Maine
With over 1,700 ECG / EKG providers statewide, Maine has adequate cardiac care capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This geographic maldistribution drives up costs in underserved areas while creating competitive pricing in Portland and surrounding communities.
