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 Utah
Where Utah ranks for this CPT
Stress Echocardiogram and how Utah is priced
Utah's fee schedule operates as a single statewide locality with geographic indices slightly below the national average, so the Wasatch Front and the remote canyon country share identical Medicare-approved amounts. Salt Lake City's growth into a major regional economy has not split the locality. From Logan to St. George, the same adjustments apply, making the statewide figures a clean guide for any Utah address. As usual, the choice between hospital-based and office-based settings will move a bill more than in-state geography can.
The Wasatch Front from Ogden through Salt Lake City to Provo concentrates nearly all of Utah's specialty care, anchored by an academic medical center and a large integrated system known nationally for cost discipline. Salt Lake City is also the referral hub for a huge intermountain region covering parts of Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. Fast-growing St. George serves the southwest corner, but rural and canyon-country residents still travel far for procedures.
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?

Stress Echocardiogram in Utah: questions
Utah is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 93350 is $177.00 in an office and $177.00 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Utah 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.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $35 for the office physician line or $35 for the hospital physician line in Utah. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $177.00 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. Utah ranks #19 of 51 states on the physician line (5% below the national office rate of $185.37).
