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.

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 Utah
Utah's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages due to the integrated delivery model pioneered by Intermountain Healthcare and competitive pressure from regional insurers. The state's young demographic and emphasis on preventive care contribute to efficient cardiac service delivery across urban and rural markets.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Wasatch Front corridor from Ogden to Provo concentrates most of Utah's cardiac specialists, creating competitive pricing but requiring rural patients to travel for services. Smaller cities like St. George and Logan have limited echocardiogram providers, often resulting in higher costs due to reduced competition. Telemedicine consultation with urban cardiologists helps bridge access gaps for rural communities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Intermountain Healthcare's hospital-based cardiac centers typically charge higher facility fees compared to independent cardiology practices throughout Utah. University of Utah Health system facilities command premium pricing for complex cases but offer advanced imaging technology. Private cardiology groups often provide more competitive cash-pay rates and flexible payment arrangements.
Insurance Market Competition in Utah
SelectHealth's regional focus creates strong negotiated rates with local providers, while Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah and UnitedHealthcare compete for employer group business. This three-way competition has kept premium increases moderate and maintained reasonable specialist copayments. Regional insurers understand Utah's healthcare landscape better than national carriers, leading to more efficient provider networks.
Physician Supply and Demand in Utah
With 425 active echocardiogram providers serving Utah's 3.3 million residents, the state maintains adequate cardiac imaging capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply-demand balance keeps wait times reasonable in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas while creating access challenges in southeastern and southwestern Utah. Growing population along the Wasatch Front continues to drive demand for cardiac services.
