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 Mexico
New Mexico's ECG / EKG costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower overall healthcare spending and rural provider economics. The Land of Enchantment's vast distances between population centers create unique access challenges that influence pricing structures.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Albuquerque and Santa Fe concentrate most cardiac specialists, while rural counties like Hidalgo and Harding have limited or no local ECG / EKG services. Patients in rural areas often travel 100+ miles for cardiac care, creating higher effective costs due to transportation needs. Telehealth ECG / EKG monitoring has emerged as a cost-effective alternative for routine follow-ups in remote areas.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Presbyterian Healthcare Services and University of New Mexico Health dominate hospital-based ECG / EKG services with higher facility fees. Independent cardiology practices typically offer lower-cost options but may have limited advanced cardiac testing capabilities. Rural Critical Access Hospitals provide basic ECG / EKG services but often refer complex cases to Albuquerque specialists.
Insurance Market Competition in New Mexico
BCBS NM holds significant market share statewide, while UHC and Molina compete primarily in urban areas and Medicaid managed care. Limited insurer competition in rural counties reduces negotiating power for lower rates. The state's small population and geographic challenges make New Mexico less attractive to national insurers, concentrating market power.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Mexico
With 1,322 active ECG / EKG providers serving 2.1 million residents, New Mexico maintains adequate cardiac care capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. The state's physician shortage areas designation affects recruitment and may lead to higher specialist fees in underserved counties. Recent telemedicine expansion has helped bridge some access gaps without increasing facility costs.
