Echocardiogram Cost in Jacksonville, FL

A transthoracic echocardiogram is an ultrasound exam performed from outside the chest. A technologist places a handheld probe with gel on the skin and records moving images of the heart, and Doppler measurements track blood flow. The result is a set of images and measurements that a physician reviews and summarizes in a report. The hospital facility fee covers the equipment, the technologist's time and the space where the exam is done. This page lists one billing code, 93306, Transthoracic Echocardiogram with Doppler. All prices come from the price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish, and they cover facility charges only.

What These Prices Mean

Three prices for one exam
Each hospital publishes a gross charge, a cash price and a range of insured rates. Gross charge is the list price. At Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County the gross charge is $4,390.25 and the cash price is $1,624.39, which is 37% of gross. Baptist Medical Center Beaches lists $5,400 gross and $3,348 cash, or 62%. UF Health Jacksonville lists $4,113.94 gross and $2,262.67 cash, or 55%. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital publish cash equal to gross, 100%, with no self-pay discount. Insured rates are negotiated with each plan, and Wolfson Children's Hospital shows insured rates from $139.16 to $17,645. People on a high-deductible plan who have not met the deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate.

A single code across 13 rows
Every row on this page uses 93306, which describes a transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler. Because the code is the same, the amounts compare the same service across facilities. Gross charges run from $4,113.94 at UF Health Jacksonville to $11,477.98 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, about 3x apart. Hospitals within one system often list identical gross and cash figures.

Why Echocardiogram Prices Vary

System policies shape the spread
Pricing tends to follow the health system. All four Ascension St. Vincent's hospitals list the same $4,390.25 gross and $1,624.39 cash. All six Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals list $5,400 gross and $3,348 cash. HCA Healthcare's two hospitals differ in gross charge, $6,474 at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and $11,477.98 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, and both publish cash equal to gross. Excluding those two, cash prices run from $1,624.39 to $3,348, with the highest about 2x the lowest. UF Health Jacksonville, the only hospital from its system here, lists $2,262.67.

Beyond this dataset
Outpatient imaging centers, physician offices and other facilities are not in this dataset and may price the same exam differently. Insurer data also shows wide variation. Florida Blue rates for this code span 11 hospitals, from $550.37 at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County to $17,645 at Wolfson Children's Hospital, with a median of $1,598.40. At UF Health Jacksonville, 88 published rates run from $329.03 to $3,908.24, with the highest about 12x the lowest.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Echocardiogram cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $1,624.39 to $11,477.98 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $134.90 (HCA Florida Memorial Hospital). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These Echocardiogram Prices

Echo type, then code. This page prices 93306, a transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler. Other echo types carry different codes, so ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code before you call any hospital. Then ask the hospital for its cash price and an itemized estimate under that code. Ask too whether the order involves contrast, since that can change the code.

Where a cash quote lands. Cash prices here are mostly flat within a system: $1,624.39 at the Ascension St. Vincent's hospitals and $3,348 at the Baptist hospitals, which include Wolfson Children's Hospital. Two HCA hospitals list cash equal to their gross charge, so no discount is published there. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital shows cash of $6,474 against insured rates topping out at $5,826.60. If a quote is above that hospital's own insured range, ask why before you agree to it.

Two bills, maybe more. The prices here are the hospital's facility charge only. The cardiologist who reads the images typically bills separately, and that bill will not match anything on this page. When the bill arrives, check that the code matches what you were quoted and that no duplicate or extra line items were added. Ask the billing office who each bill comes from.

Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently.
Insured rates depend on your plan, so ask your insurer for its negotiated rate at the specific hospital.

Data on this page. All 13 hospitals publish a cash price and a gross charge for 93306, so nothing here is a blank or $0 placeholder.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Echocardiogram Costs

How much does a echocardiogram cost without insurance in Jacksonville?

Cash prices for code 93306 are published for all 13 hospitals on this page. They run from $1,624.39 at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County to $11,477.98 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital lists $6,474, and both HCA hospitals publish cash equal to gross with no self-pay discount. Baptist Medical Center Beaches lists $3,348, and UF Health Jacksonville lists $2,262.67. No cash prices are missing for this code. These figures are facility charges only. The physician who reads the images typically bills separately, so the total can include more than the amount shown here.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is a list price that few people pay. Hospitals publish it alongside discounted self-pay prices and negotiated insurer rates. On this page, cash is 37% of gross at the four Ascension St. Vincent's hospitals, 62% at the Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals and 55% at UF Health Jacksonville. Two hospitals, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, list cash at 100% of gross, so no discount is published there. Gross charges run from $4,113.94 to $11,477.98, so the starting point differs by hospital before any discount applies.

Does insurance cover a echocardiogram?

Whether an echocardiogram is covered depends on your specific plan, so the plan's own documents and the insurer are the sources for coverage details. The published files show negotiated rates that differ by plan and hospital. Insured rates on this page run from $134.90 at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital to $17,645 at Wolfson Children's Hospital. Florida Blue alone ranges from $550.37 to $17,645 across 11 hospitals. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate until it is met.

Are there additional fees beyond the echocardiogram facility charge?

The facility charge is one part of the total. A physician, often a cardiologist, typically bills a separate professional fee for interpreting the images. Some visits also involve a separate bill for an ordering or consulting provider, and a separate charge if a contrast agent or another service is added to the exam. Insurance can add its own cost-sharing, such as copays, coinsurance or deductible amounts, on each bill. Itemized statements show which charges belong to the hospital and which come from separate providers.

What is the cash price for an echocardiogram at UF Health Jacksonville?

UF Health Jacksonville publishes a cash price of $2,262.67 for CPT 93306, the transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler. That is 55% of its gross charge of $4,113.94. These figures are facility charges only and do not include separate professional fees, which may be billed on their own.

Which Jacksonville hospital has the lowest published echocardiogram cash price?

Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County is listed at $1,624.39 for 93306, the lowest cash price on this page. Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside, Southside and St. Johns County show the same $1,624.39 cash price. All are facility charges only, so professional fees are not included.

What is the highest echocardiogram price published in Jacksonville, FL?

HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital shows the highest cash price on this page at $11,477.98 for CPT 93306, and its gross charge is the same amount. No self-pay discount is published there. This is a facility charge only and does not include separate professional fees.

What do Baptist hospitals in Jacksonville charge for an echocardiogram without insurance?
