What this number is
The figures on this page are 2026 Medicare physician allowed amounts for a specific CPT code: the professional fee, adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices. They are not a hospital chargemaster price, not your insurer's contracted rate, and not a quote. Hospital facility fees, anesthesia, implants, imaging reads, and pathology are billed separately when they apply.
National vs Kansas
Where Kansas ranks for this CPT
Echocardiogram and how Kansas is priced
A single locality covers all of Kansas, with geographic indices in the lower national tier, so the published Medicare rates apply evenly from the Kansas City suburbs to the far western High Plains. Notably, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro prices under the statewide Kansas locality while the Missouri side has its own metro locality, meaning the two halves of one city carry different approved amounts. Beyond that quirk, Kansas pricing is straightforwardly uniform. Wichita, Topeka, and rural Kansas all share the same adjustments.
The Kansas City metro and Wichita hold most of the state's specialists, with the academic medical center on the Kansas side of the metro serving as the top referral point. Western Kansas is genuinely frontier in places, with long distances to any hospital that performs advanced procedures, and some High Plains residents cross into Colorado or Nebraska for care. Critical access hospitals carry much of the rural load.
This procedure: A complete transthoracic echocardiogram is an ultrasound movie of the heart, capturing chamber sizes, pumping strength, and, in this code's complete-with-Doppler form, blood flow across each valve. It evaluates murmurs, shortness of breath, heart failure, and valve disease. A sonographer glides a probe across your chest for 30 to 45 minutes while you lie on your side; there is no radiation, no dye, and no preparation.

What Affects the Cost
- Hospital outpatient echo labs charge dramatically more than cardiologist office-based labs for the same complete study.
- This complete-with-Doppler code prices above limited or follow-up echo codes, so the study type ordered matters.
- The interpreting cardiologist's professional fee is a separate component at facility-based labs.
- Serial echos to monitor a known valve problem repeat the full cost at each surveillance interval.
- If images are inadequate, an ultrasound-enhancing contrast agent may be used, adding a drug charge, or a transesophageal echo may follow at substantially higher cost.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Has prior authorization been approved if my plan requires it for echo?
- 2.What is the price at your office lab versus the hospital's echo department?
- 3.Is a complete study needed, or does my follow-up qualify for the cheaper limited echo?
- 4.Is the cardiologist's reading fee included in the quote?
- 5.How often will this need repeating for my condition, and at what recurring cost?

How much does echocardiogram cost in Kansas?

Does the rate change inside Kansas?
Not on the physician fee schedule. Kansas uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
What will a Medicare patient owe for the physician fee?
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $36 for the office physician line or $36 for the hospital physician line in Kansas. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
Is this the full echocardiogram bill in Kansas?
No. $181.33 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 93306. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. Kansas ranks #7 of 51 states on this physician line (8% below the national office rate of $196.73).
