+3.8% vs nationalAverage of 2 localities. Office range $195.35–$213.08.
What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
This is Medicare's separate payment to the facility on top of the physician's fee. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

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 centre 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 Oregon

| Locality | Office |
|---|---|

PE GPCI ranges from 0.996 to 1.111 in Oregon. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Echocardiogram and how Oregon is priced
Oregon splits into a Portland metro locality and a rest-of-state locality, so the fee schedule prices the Willamette Valley's biggest market above Eugene, Bend, Medford, and the rural east. Portland's higher wages and office costs justify the premium, while the rest-of-state locality covers everything from the coast to the high desert at lower adjustments. The two-tier structure means an identical procedure is approved at different amounts on either side of the metro boundary. Oregon's overall indices sit somewhat above the national midpoint, led by the Portland side.
Portland concentrates the state's academic medicine and subspecialty care, drawing patients from all of Oregon and southwest Washington. Bend has grown into a notable central Oregon hub, and Medford serves the southern counties, but the eastern two thirds of the state remains sparsely served, with some residents closer to Boise than to Portland. Coastal communities also face limited local procedure options.
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 Is Echocardiogram?
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.

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?

After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $41 for the office physician line or $41 for the hospital physician line in Oregon. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $204.22 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $755 in a hospital outpatient department. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Oregon ranks #42 of 51 states on the physician line (4% above the national office rate of $196.73).
