Echocardiogram Cost in Tallahassee, FL

A transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler is an ultrasound exam performed from outside the chest.

What These Prices Mean

Reading the three columns for this exam
The gross charge is the hospital's list price before any discount or negotiated rate. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, the gross charge is $4,349.45 and the cash price is also $4,349.45, so the cash price is 100% of gross and no self-pay discount is published. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, the gross charge is $3,557.16 and the cash price is $2,490.01, which is 70% of gross. Insured rates are negotiated amounts and range from $134.90 to $4,349.45 at HCA Florida Capital Hospital and from $384.75 to $1,523.53 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. People on a high-deductible plan who have not yet met their deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the service.

What to Do With These Echocardiogram Prices

Name the code, then ask about the order. Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code before you call anyone. This page prices 93306, a transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler. Then ask each hospital for its cash price and an itemized estimate for that code, and check whether the order is with or without contrast, since that can change the code.

Put any quote next to these numbers. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, cash is $2,490.01, and its insured rates run up to $1,523.53, so cash sits above every insured rate there. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, the cash price is $4,349.45, the same as its gross charge, so no discount is published. Its insured rates range from $134.90 to $4,349.45, which is a wide spread. If you have insurance, you can ask your plan which rate applies to your visit.

Expect the bill to come in pieces. The prices here are the hospital (technical) charge only. When you get a bill, check:

  • That the facility fee matches the code you were quoted.
  • Whether a separate professional bill is coming from the cardiologist who reads the images.
  • Whether any line is for contrast or other add-ons you were not told about.

What this page does not show. Both hospitals publish a cash price and a gross charge, so there are no blanks to worry about here. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently, so you can ask them for a quote using the same code.

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 Tallahassee?

Based on the published cash prices, an echocardiogram with Doppler (code 93306) costs from $2,490.01 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital to $4,349.45 at HCA Florida Capital Hospital. Both hospitals have a published cash price for this code, so no cash prices are missing on this page. These amounts are facility charges only. The physician who reads and interprets the images typically bills a professional fee separately, and that fee is not included in the figures here. Actual self-pay charges can differ from the posted file, so a hospital billing office can confirm the current amount.

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

The gross charge is a list price that hospitals set before discounts and negotiated rates apply, and few patients pay it. The cash price is what the hospital posts for self-pay patients. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, the cash price of $2,490.01 is 70% of the $3,557.16 gross charge. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, the cash price is 100% of the $4,349.45 gross charge, which means no self-pay discount is published for this code. So the gap between gross and cash depends on each hospital's own discount policy, and one of the two hospitals here shows no gap at all.

Does insurance cover a echocardiogram?

Whether insurance covers an echocardiogram depends on your specific plan, so the plan itself or your insurer is the source for coverage details. The price files show negotiated rates for this code. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, insured rates range from $384.75 to $1,523.53. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, they range from $134.90 to $4,349.45 across 32 published rates. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate until the deductible is met. Your share also depends on your plan's copay or coinsurance terms.

Are there additional fees beyond the echocardiogram facility charge?

Yes. The facility charge on this page covers the hospital side of the exam, such as the equipment, technician, and room. Other bills may arrive separately. A physician, often a cardiologist, typically bills a professional fee for reading and interpreting the images. Some visits also involve a separate bill for an ordering or consulting provider, and some include supplies or related services billed on their own lines. If any part of the exam is performed in a hospital outpatient department, the hospital and the physician group may send different bills. An itemized bill from each provider shows which charges were included.
