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.

PE GPCI ranges from 0.996 to 1.111 in Oregon. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Stress 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 stress echocardiogram combines a heart ultrasound with exercise: images are taken at rest, you walk or run on a treadmill to a target heart rate, then images are rapidly repeated to see whether any heart wall moves poorly under stress, a sign of blocked arteries. It answers many of the same questions as a nuclear stress test without radiation. Plan on about an hour, wear exercise clothes, and expect to be pushed close to your maximum effort.
What Is Stress Echocardiogram?
A stress echocardiogram combines a heart ultrasound with exercise: images are taken at rest, you walk or run on a treadmill to a target heart rate, then images are rapidly repeated to see whether any heart wall moves poorly under stress, a sign of blocked arteries. It answers many of the same questions as a nuclear stress test without radiation. Plan on about an hour, wear exercise clothes, and expect to be pushed close to your maximum effort.
What Affects the Cost
- –The complete service stacks several billed parts: the imaging, the treadmill stress supervision, and the physician interpretations.
- –Patients who cannot exercise need a dobutamine infusion instead, adding drug and administration charges.
- –Office-based cardiology labs undercut hospital outpatient pricing for the identical test.
- –It is generally cheaper than a nuclear stress test because there is no radioactive tracer, an argument for it when either test would do.
- –Inconclusive results can cascade to nuclear imaging, CT angiography, or catheterization, each a fresh cost tier.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Is stress echo or a nuclear test better for my situation, and what does each cost me?
- 2.Has prior authorization been approved for this specific test?
- 3.Will I exercise, or will I need the dobutamine version, and what does the drug add?
- 4.Is this in an office lab or a hospital department, and what is the price at each?
- 5.If the result is unclear, what is the next test and its cost?

No. $192.37 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $744 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 $185.37).
