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 Oklahoma
Oklahoma's healthcare costs run approximately 8% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive provider market in major metropolitan areas. The concentration of cardiac services in Oklahoma City and Tulsa creates cost variations compared to rural areas where patients may need to travel for specialized echocardiogram services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oklahoma City and Tulsa offer the highest concentration of cardiologists and cardiac imaging facilities, creating competitive pricing and shorter wait times for echocardiograms. Rural areas like western and southeastern Oklahoma have fewer specialists, sometimes requiring patients to drive over an hour for cardiac imaging services. This geographic disparity can affect both access and pricing, with some rural hospitals partnering with urban cardiology groups to provide local services at competitive rates.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned cardiac imaging centers in Oklahoma, particularly those affiliated with major health systems like Integris, Saint Francis, or OU Medical Center, typically charge higher facility fees than independent cardiology practices. Community hospitals throughout Oklahoma often provide echocardiogram services at lower cost than academic medical centers, though they may have fewer advanced imaging options. The overhead costs associated with hospital-based facilities generally result in higher patient charges, even when insurance coverage is identical.
Insurance Market Competition in Oklahoma
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma holds a significant market share statewide, followed by UnitedHealthCare and CommunityCare, creating moderate competition that helps control negotiated rates with providers. Rural areas of Oklahoma may have fewer insurance options, potentially leading to higher out-of-network costs for patients whose plans don't contract with local cardiac imaging providers. The concentration of major insurers in urban markets typically results in better negotiated rates for echocardiograms in Oklahoma City and Tulsa compared to smaller communities.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oklahoma
With over 2,130 providers offering echocardiogram services across Oklahoma, the state maintains adequate capacity for cardiac imaging in most regions. This substantial provider network helps keep costs competitive and wait times manageable, particularly in metropolitan areas where multiple cardiology practices compete for patients. The healthy supply of cardiac imaging providers in Oklahoma contributes to the state's below-average healthcare costs while maintaining good access to essential diagnostic services.
