What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery center rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs Nevada
Where Nevada ranks for this CPT
Exercise Stress Test and how Nevada is priced
Nevada's Medicare rates flow from a single statewide locality with adjustments a little above the national midpoint, shaped mostly by Las Vegas wage and cost levels. Clark County holds nearly three quarters of the state's population, so the statewide factors largely mirror the Las Vegas economy, with Reno and the rural counties along for the ride. A procedure in Elko is approved at the same amount as one on the Strip's doorstep. The gap between that uniform pricing and Nevada's very uneven provider supply is what patients notice most.
Nevada has long ranked among the states with the fewest physicians per resident, and the shortage is sharpest in specialties, so waits and travel are common even in Las Vegas. Reno serves the north and pulls some patients from rural Nevada and eastern California. Many rural Nevadans cross into Utah, Arizona, or California for procedures, and complex cases are often referred to Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City.
This procedure: An exercise stress test, also called a treadmill test or exercise ECG, records your heart's electrical activity while you walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike at increasing effort. It is used to look for reduced blood flow to the heart, to check symptoms such as chest pain or breathlessness that come on with exertion, and to judge how much exercise is safe. The appointment takes about an hour including preparation, with around 10 to 15 minutes of actual exercise, and this basic version involves no injections or imaging.
What Is Exercise Stress Test?
An exercise stress test, also called a treadmill test or exercise ECG, records your heart's electrical activity while you walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike at increasing effort. It is used to look for reduced blood flow to the heart, to check symptoms such as chest pain or breathlessness that come on with exertion, and to judge how much exercise is safe. The appointment takes about an hour including preparation, with around 10 to 15 minutes of actual exercise, and this basic version involves no injections or imaging.
What Affects the Cost
- –Adding imaging turns it into a different and more expensive test: a stress echocardiogram bills echo codes on top, and a nuclear stress test adds imaging codes and a radioactive tracer.
- –A cardiology office bills one global fee, while a hospital splits the test into separate supervision, tracing and interpretation codes and adds its own facility payment.
- –If you cannot exercise, a medication is used to stress the heart instead, which usually means an imaging version of the test plus a drug charge.
- –An office visit with the cardiologist on the same day is billed separately.
- –Cash prices vary widely between practices and hospitals, so ask for a written quote before a non-urgent test.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Is this a plain exercise ECG, or will imaging or a nuclear tracer be added?
- 2.Will the test be done in your office or at a hospital, and does that change what I pay?
- 3.Does my plan need prior authorization for this test?
- 4.Will there be a separate charge for an office visit on the same day?
- 5.Who reads the results, and is that fee included in the quote?

After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $15 for the office physician line or $15 for the hospital physician line in Nevada. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
