About This Procedure
An EKG records the electrical activity of the heart to detect irregular heartbeats, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
