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 Oklahoma
Where Oklahoma ranks for this CPT
Exercise Stress Test and how Oklahoma is priced
Oklahoma is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices in the low national tier, so Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the rural southwest share a single set of Medicare-approved amounts. The state's two big metros hold most of its providers, but neither carries a separate locality premium. Low practice-cost indices keep Oklahoma's published rates among the more affordable in the fee schedule. What patients pay hinges mainly on care setting and insurance status rather than where in the state they live.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa split the state's specialty care between them, each with academic-affiliated medical centers and competing regional systems. Rural Oklahoma has struggled with hospital closures and physician recruitment, leaving long drives in the Panhandle and the southeast. Tribal health systems are a significant part of the care landscape, operating some of the larger rural facilities in the state.
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 $14 for the office physician line or $14 for the hospital physician line in Oklahoma. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
