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 New Hampshire

Healthcare costs in New Hampshire run 11% above national averages due to the state's small population, limited insurer competition, and geographic challenges in delivering care across rural areas. The concentration of major medical facilities around Manchester and Nashua creates cost disparities between urban and rural regions.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Most of New Hampshire's cardiac specialists practice in the Manchester-Nashua corridor and around Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, leaving rural areas with limited options. Patients in the North Country or western regions often travel significant distances for specialized cardiac care, sometimes crossing into Vermont or Massachusetts. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to command higher rates while rural patients face additional travel costs.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned cardiology practices, including those affiliated with Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Catholic Medical Center, and Elliot Health System, typically charge higher rates due to facility fees and overhead costs. Independent cardiology groups often offer more competitive pricing but may have less comprehensive testing capabilities on-site. The choice between hospital-based and independent providers can affect your total cost by 20-40%.

Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire

The dominance of Anthem, Harvard Pilgrim, and Cigna in New Hampshire's small insurance market limits competitive pressure on negotiated rates with providers. This concentrated market structure contributes to higher healthcare costs compared to states with more insurer competition. Limited plan options also reduce patients' ability to shop for better cardiac care coverage.

Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire

New Hampshire has over 3,700 active ECG / EKG providers, which appears adequate for the state's population of 1.4 million residents. However, the geographic distribution favors urban areas, creating access challenges in rural regions that can drive up costs through reduced competition. The state's proximity to Boston attracts some specialists but also creates competition for talent with higher-paying Massachusetts practices.

Frequently Asked Questions — ECG / EKG Costs in New Hampshire

What is the average cost of a ECG / EKG visit in New Hampshire without insurance?

Without insurance, ECG / EKG visits in New Hampshire typically cost between $16.70 and $59.71, with a median cost of $30.80 based on actual negotiated rates. These prices reflect what insurers pay providers and may be higher for cash-paying patients. Many providers offer self-pay discounts that can reduce these amounts by 10-30%. Hospital-based facilities tend to charge toward the higher end of this range due to additional facility fees.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover ECG / EKG visits?

Yes, New Hampshire expanded Medicaid covers ECG / EKG visits when medically necessary, with minimal or no copays for eligible patients. Coverage includes both the physician consultation and basic cardiac testing like electrocardiograms. Patients need a referral from their primary care provider for specialist visits. More complex procedures may require prior authorization from the state's Medicaid program.

How do I find an affordable ECG / EKG near me in New Hampshire?

Compare costs between hospital-based and independent cardiology practices, as independent providers often charge 20-40% less for the same services. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers that offer sliding scale fees based on income. Federally Qualified Health Centers in Manchester, Nashua, and other cities provide cardiac care at reduced rates. Travel to rural areas may offer lower rates but factor in transportation costs.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Based on current data, the primary ECG procedure (CPT 93000) costs between $16.70 and $59.71 regardless of whether it's your first visit or a follow-up. However, the physician consultation portion typically costs more for new patients due to the comprehensive evaluation required. Follow-up visits focus on specific issues and generally involve shorter appointments with lower professional fees. Your insurance copay structure may also differ between new patient and established patient visits.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a ECG / EKG visit in New Hampshire?

Yes, ECG / EKG visits qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This includes the consultation fee, diagnostic testing, and any prescribed treatments. Keep receipts for reimbursement from your FSA or for tax purposes if using HSA funds. Both accounts can help reduce your out-of-pocket costs by using pre-tax dollars for cardiac care.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a ECG / EKG in New Hampshire?

Telemedicine consultations with cardiologists typically cost 10-20% less than in-person visits but cannot replace procedures requiring physical examination or testing like ECGs. New Hampshire expanded telehealth coverage during the pandemic, and many insurers continue covering virtual cardiac consultations. However, initial cardiac evaluations usually require in-person assessment for accurate diagnosis. Telemedicine works well for follow-up visits and medication management after your initial evaluation.
