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 Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, influenced by the state's mix of expensive urban markets like Portland and underserved rural regions stretching across eastern Oregon. The concentration of major health systems in the Willamette Valley creates cost disparities compared to frontier counties where provider options are extremely limited.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Portland and the Willamette Valley contain the majority of Oregon's cardiologists and ECG / EKG facilities, while eastern Oregon counties often have no local specialists. Patients in rural areas may face travel costs and longer wait times, but sometimes find lower facility fees at critical access hospitals. The urban-rural divide significantly impacts both access and pricing for cardiac services.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon Health & Science University, PeaceHealth, and other major health systems operate hospital-based cardiology clinics with higher overhead costs reflected in their pricing. Independent cardiology practices, particularly in smaller cities like Bend or Medford, often charge lower facility fees. Academic medical centers in Portland may carry premium pricing due to their teaching hospital status and specialized equipment.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UnitedHealthcare dominate Oregon's insurance landscape, creating moderate competition that influences negotiated rates with ECG / EKG providers. The state's insurance market is less concentrated than some neighboring states, giving providers more leverage in rate negotiations. Regional insurers like PacificSource often have stronger networks in rural Oregon compared to national carriers.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With over 1,000 active ECG / EKG providers statewide, Oregon maintains adequate specialist supply in urban areas but faces shortages in rural counties. The concentration of providers in Portland creates competitive pricing in the metro area while rural regions see higher costs due to limited options. Wait times for non-urgent ECG / EKG services typically remain reasonable in urban areas but extend significantly in frontier counties.
