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 93306 — Echocardiography, transthoracic, with Doppler). 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 93306 covers
Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 93306 (Echocardiography, transthoracic, with Doppler), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.
What CPT 93306 covers: the provider's professional fee for echocardiogram. 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 Echocardiogram Visit Costs Vary Across Arizona
Arizona's healthcare costs run approximately 5% above national averages, but echocardiogram pricing remains competitive due to strong insurer competition and abundant provider supply. The state's unique mix of urban medical centers and rural critical access hospitals creates distinct pricing tiers based on facility overhead and market competition.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Phoenix and Tucson metro areas offer numerous cardiac imaging options with competitive pricing, while rural counties like Apache and Greenlee may have limited local providers. Patients in northern Arizona often travel to Flagstaff or Phoenix for specialized cardiac imaging, adding transportation costs but accessing lower procedure fees. The state's vast geography means some residents face 2-3 hour drives to reach full-service cardiac facilities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient departments at major systems like Banner Health and Dignity Health typically charge premium rates due to higher overhead costs. Independent imaging centers and cardiology practices offer more competitive pricing, particularly in Phoenix where facility competition is intense. Arizona's certificate-of-need exemptions for imaging equipment have encouraged private investment in cardiac imaging technology.
Insurance Market Competition in Arizona
The competitive dynamics between UHC, BCBS Arizona, and Aetna have driven favorable negotiated rates for cardiac procedures across the state. Arizona's relatively open insurance market allows these major carriers to compete aggressively on provider networks and reimbursement rates. Regional insurers and Medicare Advantage plans add additional competitive pressure, benefiting patients through lower out-of-pocket costs.
Physician Supply and Demand in Arizona
With over 6,400 providers offering echocardiogram services, Arizona maintains adequate cardiac imaging capacity despite rapid population growth. This robust provider supply helps contain costs and reduces wait times, particularly in metropolitan areas where multiple facilities compete for patients. The state's appeal to retiring physicians has strengthened cardiology networks, though rural areas still face occasional access challenges.
