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 Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run about 9% above national averages, driven by the state's unique geography spanning dense urban centers and vast rural territories. The concentration of advanced cardiac facilities in Portland and other metropolitan areas creates cost disparities compared to smaller communities with limited specialist access.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Portland's metro area contains the majority of Oregon's cardiologists and advanced cardiac imaging facilities, while rural counties often rely on visiting specialists or telemedicine consultations. Eastern Oregon particularly faces provider shortages, leading to higher travel costs and longer wait times for patients seeking cardiac care. This geographic imbalance affects both access and pricing throughout the state.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon Health & Science University and Providence Health Systems operate major cardiac centers with higher overhead costs than independent cardiology practices. Hospital-based outpatient imaging typically carries facility fees in addition to professional charges, increasing total patient costs. Academic medical centers often charge premium rates due to their teaching hospital status and advanced equipment investments.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UHC dominate Oregon's commercial insurance market, creating moderate competition that affects negotiated rates with providers. The state's regulatory environment allows significant rate variations between insurers, meaning identical services can cost differently depending on your specific plan. Rural areas often have fewer insurer options, reducing competitive pressure on pricing.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With 400 active echocardiogram providers serving Oregon's 4.2 million residents, the state maintains reasonable access to cardiac imaging in urban areas. However, the uneven distribution means some regions face provider shortages while others have adequate supply. This imbalance affects both appointment availability and pricing power, with underserved areas sometimes commanding higher rates due to limited competition.
