Most cardiology practices make you call to find out what something costs. We publish every price because transparency is part of good care. What you see here is what you pay. No surprise bills. No hidden facility fees. No runaround.
If you have insurance, we verify your benefits and handle all prior authorizations before your appointment — at no cost to you. You pay your copay or deductible at the time of service, just like any other specialist visit.
If you prefer to pay directly — or if your insurance doesn't cover a service — our cash-pay rates are published below. They are significantly lower than hospital rates for identical procedures.
