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.

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 Vermont
Vermont's ECG / EKG costs run approximately 15% above national averages, reflecting the state's rural healthcare challenges and limited insurer competition between BCBS Vermont and MVP Health Care. The Green Mountain State's dispersed population creates unique cost pressures where specialized cardiac services must serve both Burlington's urban core and isolated mountain communities.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Burlington and surrounding Chittenden County concentrate most of Vermont's cardiac specialists, while rural areas like the Northeast Kingdom rely on traveling providers or telemedicine consultations. Patients in remote areas may drive 1-2 hours to reach specialized ECG / EKG services, though basic testing is available through critical access hospitals statewide. This geographic distribution creates cost disparities where urban competition keeps some prices lower while rural convenience commands premium pricing.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
The University of Vermont Medical Center dominates Burlington's cardiac care landscape, with hospital-based ECG / EKG services typically charging higher facility fees than independent cardiology practices. Smaller hospitals like Brattleboro Memorial and Rutland Regional Medical Center offer mid-tier pricing between large academic centers and rural clinics. Independent practices throughout Vermont often provide the most cost-effective ECG / EKG testing for routine cardiac monitoring.
Insurance Market Competition in Vermont
Vermont's limited insurer competition between BCBS Vermont and MVP Health Care results in less aggressive rate negotiations compared to states with more diverse payer markets. This concentrated market structure contributes to the state's above-average healthcare costs, though both insurers maintain extensive provider networks throughout rural Vermont. Regional variations in negotiated rates reflect each insurer's market share and contracting strategies in different geographic areas.
Physician Supply and Demand in Vermont
Vermont's 352 active ECG / EKG providers create adequate coverage for the state's small population, though specialist availability varies significantly between urban and rural regions. The state's physician-to-population ratio for cardiac care exceeds national averages in Burlington but falls below in rural counties, affecting both access and pricing patterns. This supply distribution allows competitive pricing in well-served areas while creating premium costs where providers are scarce.
