What is patient cost for stress test?

The cost of a stress test can vary depending on several factors, including the type of test, the facility where it is performed, and your insurance coverage. Here are some general cost estimates for stress tests:

1. Exercise stress test: This is the most common type of stress test and involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are monitored. The cost of an exercise stress test can range from $100 to $500.

2. Nuclear stress test: This type of stress test uses radioactive dye to create images of your heart before, during, and after exercise. It is more expensive than an exercise stress test and can cost between $500 and $1,500.

3. Echocardiogram stress test: This test combines an echocardiogram (a type of ultrasound imaging) with a stress test. It can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000.

It's important to note that these are just estimates, and the actual cost of your stress test may vary. You should check with your insurance provider or the healthcare facility where you are receiving the test to determine the exact cost. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of a stress test, while others may require you to pay a deductible or copay.
