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 Wisconsin
Wisconsin's ECG / EKG costs run approximately 1% above the national average, reflecting the state's balanced mix of urban medical centers and rural healthcare facilities. The presence of major health systems like Froedtert, Aurora Health Care, and Mayo Clinic Health System creates a competitive environment that helps moderate pricing.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Milwaukee and Madison offer numerous ECG / EKG options with competitive pricing, while rural counties in northern and western Wisconsin may have fewer providers and longer travel distances. Rural facilities sometimes charge less for basic ECG / EKG services but may refer complex cases to urban cardiology centers.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics in Wisconsin typically charge 30-50% more for ECG / EKG services compared to independent cardiology practices due to higher facility fees. Academic medical centers like UW Health may have premium pricing but offer access to specialized cardiac expertise and advanced diagnostic capabilities.
Insurance Market Competition in Wisconsin
The state's three major insurers (BCBS Wisconsin, UnitedHealthcare, and WEA Trust) maintain relatively balanced market shares, preventing any single insurer from dominating rate negotiations. This moderate competition helps keep ECG / EKG reimbursement rates stable and prevents extreme cost variations between different insurance plans.
Physician Supply and Demand in Wisconsin
With over 9,000 ECG / EKG providers statewide, Wisconsin maintains adequate cardiac testing capacity for its population of 5.9 million residents. This healthy provider-to-patient ratio helps keep wait times reasonable and prevents artificial price inflation due to supply shortages.
