Echocardiogram Cost in Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL

A transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler, billed under HCPCS code 93306, is an ultrasound study of the heart performed from outside the body. A technician places a handheld transducer against the chest wall, and sound waves produce moving images of the heart's chambers and valves. The Doppler component adds measurements of the speed and direction of blood flow. The facility fee, meaning the charge from the hospital for the room, equipment, and technical staff, covers the scan itself. Prices on this page come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files, which require hospitals to publish their standard charges.

* Hospitals marked with * publish cash prices equal to their gross charges, meaning no separate self-pay discount appears in their transparency file. The insured rates shown are negotiated rates between the hospital and specific insurance plans. Uninsured patients may be able to negotiate lower rates by contacting the hospital directly.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns
The gross charge is the hospital's list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is the amount quoted to a patient paying without insurance. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates with insurers. For code 93306, gross charges run from $1,844.07 at AdventHealth North Pinellas to $24,387.55 at HCA South Shore. Cash is 100% of gross at both, while Tampa General offers cash at 35% of its $6,754 gross, or $2,363.9. A higher gross with a larger discount can still produce a higher cash price: Tampa General's $2,363.9 exceeds the $1,957.2 cash price at hospitals with a $3,262 gross and a 60% ratio. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

What the code covers
Only one code, 93306, appears in this dataset. It describes a complete transthoracic study that combines two-dimensional imaging with Doppler flow measurement. The facility fee covers the technical portion: equipment, room, and staff. Interpretation by a physician is billed separately.

Why Echocardiogram Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for code 93306 span $1,844.07 to $24,387.55, a gap of $22,543.48. Cash prices span $1,844.07 to $24,387.55 as well, but the middle of the market looks different. Eight hospitals list cash at $1,957.2 or $2,363.9 after discounts of 40% to 65% off gross, while most others set cash equal to gross. Seven AdventHealth hospitals list cash at $1,844.07, $3,964.88, or $8,052.31, matching gross exactly. The HCA hospitals in the dataset list cash at 100% of gross, from $8,156.45 to $24,387.55.

Facility type and alternatives
All hospitals in this dataset are hospital-based facilities, including an academic medical center, Tampa General. Hospital outpatient departments bill a facility fee, while outpatient or freestanding facilities not in this dataset may charge differently. Within this dataset, the cash price range is $1,844.07 to $24,387.55. Hospital system, chargemaster policy, and negotiated discount structure each contribute to the spread, since the same code and the same service carry very different listed prices.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Echocardiogram cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $1,844.07 to $24,387.55 (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 Bayonet Point 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.

Key finding: Payer rates for code 93306 range from $134.9 under workers' compensation plans at HCA Florida hospitals to $22,436.55 under an Evolutions Healthcare Systems network at HCA Florida South Shore.

What to Do With These Echocardiogram Prices

Pin down which echo is ordered. This page prices CPT 93306, a transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler. Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code before you call a hospital, since a different echo type or a contrast study carries a different code. Then ask the hospital's billing office for its cash price and an itemized estimate for that code.

See where a quote falls. Cash prices here run from $1,957.20 at BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel to $2,363.90 at Tampa General Hospital, among hospitals that publish a cash price below gross. Nineteen of 27 hospitals list cash equal to their gross charge. At AdventHealth Carrollwood, for example, cash is $3,964.88 while insured rates top out at $1,266.75. Check whether the cash quote you receive is higher than the insured range at the same hospital, and ask the billing office why.

Count the bills. The prices on this page are the hospital's technical (facility) charge. The cardiologist who reads the images usually bills separately, so ask whether a professional fee will arrive from a different office. On your itemized estimate or bill, check that 93306 appears once and that no extra lines, such as contrast, were added without being ordered.

Know the page's limits. All 27 hospitals publish a cash price and none has a missing gross charge. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently. Some insured ranges show N/A, as at AdventHealth Riverview, which means no rate was published, not that none exists.

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 Tampa-St. Petersburg?

Without insurance, cash prices for code 93306 range from $1,844.07 at AdventHealth North Pinellas to $24,387.55 at HCA South Shore. Seven hospitals, including BayCare Wesley Chapel, the Mease hospitals, and the Morton Plant hospitals, list $1,957.2. Tampa General lists $2,363.9. AdventHealth Carrollwood, Riverview, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Zephyrhills list $3,964.88, and AdventHealth Dade City lists $8,052.31. HCA hospitals list $8,156.45 to $24,387.55. These are facility fees. The physician who interprets the study bills a professional fee separately.

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

The gross charge is the chargemaster price, a list price set by the hospital that almost no one pays. Many hospitals discount it for cash payers. Tampa General's gross charge is $6,754 and its cash price is $2,363.9, or 35% of gross. At the seven hospitals with a $3,262 gross, cash is $1,957.2, or 60%. HCA South Shore lists cash at 100% of its $24,387.55 gross. Tampa General's larger percentage discount still produces a higher cash price than the 60% hospitals, because its starting gross is higher.

Does insurance cover a echocardiogram?

Coverage depends on the plan and on medical necessity as determined by the insurer. Negotiated rates for code 93306 vary widely, from $134.9 to $22,436.55 across 1,205 payer rates in the files. Some plans require prior authorization for non-emergency cases, which is set by each insurer. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for your plan, not the gross charge, until the deductible is met. Your insurer can confirm the rate that applies to your plan.

Are there additional fees beyond the echocardiogram facility charge?

Yes. The facility fee covers the hospital's room, equipment, and technical staff. The physician who interprets the echocardiogram, usually a cardiologist, bills a separate professional fee. If the study is performed in the emergency department, a separate ER facility fee applies in addition to the charges for the study. These additional fees are billed separately from the prices listed in this article, and their amounts are not included in the hospital transparency data used here.

What is the cash price for a 93306 echocardiogram at Tampa General Hospital?

Tampa General Hospital publishes a cash price of $2,363.90 for CPT 93306 (Transthoracic Echocardiogram with Doppler), against a gross charge of $6,754. The cash price is 35% of gross. These are facility charges only, so professional fees are not included. Insured rates there run from $570.61 to $1,141.22.

Which Tampa Bay hospital has the lowest published echocardiogram price?

AdventHealth North Pinellas shows the lowest published cash price at $1,844.07 for 93306, but that equals its gross charge, so no self-pay discount is published. Among hospitals that do publish a discounted cash price, BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel is lowest at $1,957.20. Both figures are facility charges only.

How much is the highest echocardiogram price in Tampa-St. Petersburg?

HCA Florida South Shore Hospital shows the highest published price at $24,387.55 for 93306, for both gross charge and cash price. That is about 13x the lowest gross charge on this page, $1,844.07 at AdventHealth North Pinellas. Both are facility charges only and exclude separate professional fees.

What does UnitedHealthcare pay for an echocardiogram at Tampa Bay hospitals?

UnitedHealthcare's published rates for 93306 range from $305.11 at BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel to $10,974.40 at HCA Florida South Shore Hospital, across 20 hospitals. The median is $2,554.15. The highest is about 36x the lowest. These are facility rates only, and actual billing can differ by plan.

Do AdventHealth hospitals in Tampa offer a self-pay discount on echocardiograms?

No discount is published. AdventHealth Tampa lists a cash price of $3,964.88 for 93306, the same as its gross charge. AdventHealth Carrollwood, Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills show the same $3,964.88. Insured rates at AdventHealth Tampa run from $570.61 to $1,266.75. All figures are facility charges only.
