What Does it Cost to Make an Appointment With a Cardiologist

Checking your heart regularly is the best way to prevent any aggravation of a potential heart condition.  In many cases, going to a physician to check for heart problems can save your life. Heart tests are crucial for detecting any kind of heart disease and finding the right treatment. If you already have symptoms like chest discomfort, chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, it is time to visit a cardiologist. But how much does a cardiologist appointment cost?

General Costs to See a Cardiologist

If you don’t have insurance, the price for a visit can be anywhere from $195 to $510. For this price, you get a consultation and a diagnosis. You could also get information about a possible treatment. The price can be influenced by your geographical location. The expertise of the doctor can also have an impact on costs. If you have insurance, you should ask your provider about the things that are covered in your policy. Each type of policy is different.

Extra Costs for the Performed Tests

The following tests can be performed:

• EKG or ECG
• Exercise EKG
• Echocardiogram
• Exercise Echo
• Calcium scan
• Holter Monitor

Not all of these tests are recommended as routine tests. The tests allow physicians to understand what causes the symptoms and how to develop a treatment. Physicians can also test the electrical system of your heart, the resistance to exercises, and the functionality of the valves. The price for one type of test (for any of the tests listed above) can start from $15 and can reach up to $500, depending on the complexity of the test. An EKG is affordable, costing between $15 and $30.
