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 Kansas
Kansas operates approximately 7% below national averages for cardiac imaging costs, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural healthcare economics. The Sunflower State's dispersed population across 105 counties creates unique access challenges that influence both pricing and availability of specialized cardiac services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Kansas City and Wichita metropolitan areas concentrate most of the state's cardiac specialists and advanced echo facilities, while rural counties often lack local cardiology services. Patients in western Kansas may travel 2-3 hours to reach subspecialty cardiac imaging centers, though telemedicine consultations are increasingly bridging these gaps. This geographic disparity creates higher effective costs for rural patients due to travel expenses and time off work.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital systems like The University of Kansas Health System and Ascension Via Christi operate higher-overhead cardiac centers with facility fees, while independent cardiology practices offer more competitive echo pricing. Outpatient imaging centers in Kansas typically provide the lowest-cost option for routine transthoracic echocardiograms. Free-standing cardiac facilities avoid hospital markup while maintaining accreditation standards for quality imaging services.
Insurance Market Competition in Kansas
BCBS Kansas dominates the individual and group insurance markets, with UHC and Aetna providing secondary competition primarily in urban areas. This concentrated market structure gives major insurers significant negotiating power with Kansas providers, generally keeping rates lower than more fragmented state markets. Limited insurer competition in rural Kansas counties can result in narrow provider networks requiring patients to travel for in-network cardiac care.
Physician Supply and Demand in Kansas
With 1,767 active providers offering echocardiogram services, Kansas maintains adequate capacity relative to its 2.9 million residents, though distribution favors urban areas. The state's relatively stable physician supply helps moderate pricing compared to shortage areas that command premium rates. Rural physician recruitment challenges mean some communities rely on visiting cardiologists or mobile echo units, which can affect both availability and cost structures.
