How much does echocardiogram (transthoracic) cost?

Echocardiogram (transthoracic) cash prices on cleartau range from $697 to $4,217 (10th–90th percentile) across 3187 US hospitals, with a median of $1,706. Individual hospital prices vary widely; the per-hospital table below shows the spread.

What's typically billed separately for echocardiogram (transthoracic)?

These components are usually billed by a different provider on a separate invoice: cardiologist interpretation. They're still part of the episode of care.

How does the echocardiogram (transthoracic) package price get calculated?

Cleartau sums per-component representative prices across the procedure, facility, anesthesia, and (where applicable) implant lines. The package median equals the sum of per-component medians; min and max work the same way. When a hospital publishes a formula (e.g. "150% of Medicare") instead of a dollar amount, the formula is resolved against the matching CMS fee schedule before aggregation.

PackagesOutpatient

Echocardiogram (transthoracic)

Ultrasound imaging of the heart (TTE).

Non-invasive ultrasound of the heart. The complete two-dimensional study (93306) bundles 2D imaging plus Doppler and color flow; shorter follow-up studies (93307, 93308) cost less. The cardiologist's interpretation is usually billed under a separate professional code (-26 modifier).
