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 Minnesota
Minnesota's ECG / EKG costs run approximately 5% below national averages, reflecting the state's competitive insurance market and integrated health system efficiency. The concentration of major medical centers in the Twin Cities creates pricing pressure that benefits patients statewide through negotiated rate competition.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Twin Cities metro area hosts the majority of Minnesota's cardiac specialists, creating abundant choice and competitive pricing within the seven-county region. Rural areas like northern Minnesota and the Iron Range have fewer providers, sometimes requiring longer travel distances but often offering lower base rates due to reduced overhead costs.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics affiliated with Mayo Clinic, Allina Health, and Fairview Health Services typically charge higher facility fees than independent cardiology practices. Free-standing diagnostic centers and urgent care clinics offer ECG / EKG services at significantly lower rates, particularly for routine screening visits.
Insurance Market Competition in Minnesota
Strong competition between BCBS MN, UnitedHealthcare, and HealthPartners keeps negotiated rates competitive across most of the state. The presence of regional insurers and cooperative health plans creates additional downward pressure on ECG / EKG pricing, particularly in markets outside the Twin Cities metro.
Physician Supply and Demand in Minnesota
With nearly 2,000 active ECG / EKG providers statewide, Minnesota maintains adequate specialist supply relative to its population of 5.7 million residents. This healthy provider-to-patient ratio helps keep wait times reasonable and prevents significant supply-driven price inflation in most markets.
