$3,875 - VG in Pottstown Memorial Medical Center, Pottstown, Pennsylvania |
| Aetna POS II open access approved 3220.63 and paid 80% minus my $250 deductible leaving me to pay $250 plus 594.13 for a total of $844.13 This is totally outrageous compared to the rest of these posts. It is sad when you pay premiums for health insurance through your employer but cannot afford to use the benefits because you get stuck with a bill like this. I won' be going for any doctors visits or tests anytime soon. |

$2,680 - Bob Warne in Dublin Ohio |
| I paid $433.00 A technician with two years college performed the test in 20 minutes, at most. Since there was no rush to do the echocardiogram after wearing a monitor, I feel this was an example of unnecessary testing. |

$1,900 - T. Hanson in Alaska |
| $1900 for the hospital bill just for the echo. Then another $900 for the MD (not a cardiologist) to read/interpret it. Insurance paid all but $1000 due to my deductible. |

$1,600 - M. Peters in CT |
| I figured that this echocardiogram would be much similar to an MRI or an X-ray or something. The procedure was a little over $1500, but ,y insurance company paid for everything. |
