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 Nevada
Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, driven by the state's rapid population growth and concentration of services in urban areas. The growing ambulatory surgery center market in Las Vegas is introducing new competitive dynamics for outpatient cardiac imaging services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Nevada's extreme geographic concentration means Las Vegas and Reno metro areas have abundant cardiac imaging options, while rural counties like Esmeralda and Mineral have limited or no local cardiology services. Patients in rural Nevada often travel 200+ miles for specialized cardiac care, with transportation costs adding to the total expense. The state's vast distances create access barriers that can delay necessary cardiac diagnostics.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based cardiac labs at major Nevada health systems like Renown Health and Dignity Health typically charge premium rates due to higher overhead costs and 24/7 staffing requirements. Independent cardiology practices and outpatient imaging centers often offer the same quality echocardiogram services at 30-50% lower costs. The growth of ambulatory cardiac centers in Las Vegas is creating new competitive pricing pressure.
Insurance Market Competition in Nevada
Nevada's insurance market features moderate competition with UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Aetna controlling most of the commercial market, while Silver Summit and Health Plan of Nevada serve regional populations. This concentration allows insurers significant leverage in negotiating rates with cardiac imaging providers. The state's lack of a comprehensive all-payer claims database limits price transparency efforts.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada
With 2,598 active Echocardiogram providers serving Nevada's 3.2 million residents, the state maintains adequate cardiac imaging capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. The relatively robust provider supply in Las Vegas and Reno helps maintain competitive pricing and shorter wait times for routine echocardiograms. However, subspecialty cardiac imaging like pediatric echocardiography remains concentrated at major medical centers.
