Echocardiogram Cost in Wyoming (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a echocardiogram cost in Wyoming?

Where you have an echocardiogram done in Wyoming swings the bill from $481 to $1,491 for identical care. The median cash price across 14 reporting hospitals is $762. The numbers are pulled directly from federally mandated hospital price transparency files.

Insurers negotiate this down to a median of $516, while self-pay patients are quoted $762 — about 1.5× higher, so asking for the cash or insurer-negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on your bill. Across 14 Wyoming hospitals that publish prices, an echocardiogram runs from as little as $217 (Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette) to $4,320 (ASPEN MOUNTAIN MEDICAL in Rock Spring) — a 19.9× spread for the same procedure. A typical Wyoming facility lands around $762 — most sit in the $419–$1,491 band.

A missing prior authorization can turn a covered echocardiogram into a denied claim — and the same study is one bill or two.

The free toolkit shows you:

  • ✓ Why prior authorization is the most preventable echo billing surprise — and how to confirm it
  • ✓ Why a facility splits into a technical bill and a separate cardiologist bill (an office bills one global fee)
  • ✓ How the interpreting cardiologist can be out-of-network even at an in-network facility
  • ✓ Why a hospital outpatient department costs far more than a cardiology office or imaging center
  • ✓ A real patient billing breakdown, line by line

Forecast your out-of-pocket cost

How prices are distributed across Wyoming hospitals:
  • Lower-cost hospitals (bottom 25%): under $419
  • Median hospital: $762
  • Higher-cost hospitals (top 30%): $1,491+

That's a 4× spread for the same procedure — driven entirely by which facility you choose, not by clinical complexity.

Example — two commercially insured patients in the same area:
  • Patient A (higher-rate plan or out-of-network): ~$1,491
  • Patient B (lower-rate in-network plan): ~$481
Same procedure. Same week. $1,010 difference.

Check YOUR hospital's pricing → Estimate YOUR exact cost →

Worth knowing: Declared gross charges vary significantly across Wyoming hospitals — the same procedure can look very different on a hospital's price list versus what you actually owe. Cash and negotiated prices are a more practical guide.
Every hospital in this dataset offers a cash price — with a median of $762. If your deductible hasn't been met, always ask for the self-pay rate before scheduling.

What you'll actually pay — example scenarios

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met (pay in full) ~$762
Deductible met — 20% coinsurance ~$152
Out-of-network provider $1,676+

Based on the state median facility price of $762. Your actual cost depends on your plan deductible, coinsurance rate, and network tier. Get YOUR personalized estimate →

What this means for you

If you haven't met your deductible, you are effectively a cash-pay patient.

That means:

  • You should verify your hospital is in-network before an elective visit when possible
  • The cheapest facility can save you $599+ vs. the median.

This is the single biggest lever most patients have to reduce their cost.

Lower-cost options in Wyoming start around $419 or below. Most hospitals cluster between $419 and $1,499. A smaller group reports prices above that — often academic medical centers or high-cost markets.

If you're comparing specific hospitals, the lowest self-pay rates reported in this dataset include: Sagewest Health Care in Riverton (cash price from $163); Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette (cash price from $217); Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie (cash price from $241). These are declared cash prices — contact each facility for a formal quote before scheduling.

How where you go changes what you pay for echocardiogram

The same echocardiogram bundles different services depending on the setting — facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Hospital Outpatient
$309–$3,412
  • Facility fee $163–$2,484
  • Professional fee $146–$928

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$309–$1,717
  • Facility fee $163–$789
  • Professional fee $146–$928

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Quick decision guide:
  • Best value hospitals (lowest prices): Sagewest Health Care: $163; Campbell County Memorial Hospital: $217; Ivinson Memorial Hospital: $241
  • Most expensive (outpatient): Sublette County Health: ~$2,484; ASPEN MOUNTAIN MEDICAL: ~$2,134

→ Choosing the right facility can save $599+ vs. the state median.

Wyoming Echocardiogram prices by facility

All prices below come from hospital chargemasters — the official price lists each hospital must publish under federal law. Gross charge is the undiscounted list price; cash price is the self-pay rate; negotiated range covers the spread across insurance contracts.

How we calculate "Your Price" — We prioritize the most actionable price in this order:
  1. Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
  2. Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
  3. Gross charge — fallback only; this is the inflated list price few people pay

This reflects the real prices patients encounter — not inflated chargemaster rates.

How to choose a lower-cost facility

  • Choose independent outpatient centers when possible — freestanding ASCs (ambulatory surgical centers) consistently charge less than hospital outpatient departments for identical procedures.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met — self-pay rates are often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied, especially at facilities that have a high cash-price discount.
  • Avoid hospital outpatient departments for routine cases — hospital-owned locations add a facility fee that freestanding centers don't charge, often adding $500–$1,500 to the same procedure.
Important: Many procedures are done at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) that are often 30–60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments with the same clinical quality. Most ASCs are not in this hospital dataset — meaning your cheapest option may not even appear here. Ask your doctor if the procedure can be done at a freestanding ASC.

Most expensive echocardiogram providers in Wyoming

These facilities report the highest prices for this procedure. Academic medical centers and specialty hospitals often top this list — their gross charges rarely reflect what anyone actually pays, but understanding the spread helps you negotiate.

ASPEN MOUNTAIN MEDICAL Rock Spring, WY $2,134 +$1,372

Why prices vary this much

Setting drives much of the gap in Wyoming: the median outpatient price is $762 versus $564 inpatient, so where a procedure is performed often matters more than which hospital you choose. Of the Wyoming facilities reporting prices, 4 fall in a low-cost tier (up to $419) while 4 sit in a high-cost tier ($1,499 and up) — a lower-priced option almost always exists within the same state.

The spread comes from how each hospital sets its chargemaster (the undiscounted list price), what cash discounts it applies, and what rates it negotiates with each insurer. Facility classification matters too — a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. Understanding these mechanics is the first step to paying less.

How insurance changes what you actually pay

Hospital list prices are only part of the picture. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility is in-network, and whether your plan classifies the visit as outpatient or inpatient. A lower gross charge doesn't guarantee a lower bill if the facility is out-of-network or adds facility fees your plan doesn't cover.

Frequently asked questions: echocardiogram costs in Wyoming

How much does an echocardiogram cost in Wyoming?

Across 14 Wyoming hospitals that publish prices, an echocardiogram ranges from $217 to $4,320, with a median of $762. Most facilities fall between $419 and $1,491. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get an echocardiogram in Wyoming?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Wyoming data is Sagewest Health Care in Riverton at about $163. Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data — ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is an echocardiogram so much cheaper at some Wyoming hospitals?

Prices vary up to 19.9× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Wyoming, the median cash (self-pay) price is $762 versus a median negotiated rate of $516 — about 1.5× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for an echocardiogram in Wyoming?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network — not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

Where You Get an Echocardiogram Matters

Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2–4× more than ASCs or independent centers for the same procedure — same outcome, very different bill.

Hospital Outpatient Department

Hospital Outpatient Department typically carries a higher price for an echocardiogram. Facility fee billed separately from professional fee. Provider-based billing adds facility overhead. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Independent Imaging Center

Independent Imaging Center typically carries the lowest typical price for an echocardiogram. Freestanding radiology centers. Technical component billed by center; professional (radiologist read) billed separately. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Physician Office

Physician Office typically carries the lowest typical price for an echocardiogram. Professional fee only. No separate facility fee unless provider-based designation.

Emergency Room Echocardiogram

An Echocardiogram performed in the emergency department can run 2–5× the cost of the identical scan at an outpatient or independent facility, because a hospital facility fee stacks on top. Use the ER only when the situation is medically urgent — it is not a setting where you can shop on price.

Echocardiogram Cost by Type

Which type your doctor orders changes the billing code — and what you pay. Here's how the common types differ.

Complete Echo with Doppler (TTE)

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 93306 — the standard complete study.

Echo without Doppler

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 93307.

Limited / Follow-up Echo

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 93308.

Stress Echocardiogram

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. CPT 93350 — echo performed with cardiac stress.

This Procedure Is Shoppable — Choosing the Right Facility Can Save Thousands

Echocardiogram is elective and schedulable. You have time to compare facilities — and hospital outpatient prices often run 2–4× higher than Hospital OP, Imaging Center, Office for identical clinical outcomes.

How to shop: Ask your doctor for the CPT code, then call 2–3 facilities and request an out-of-pocket cost estimate. Confirm your insurance is accepted. If uninsured, ask for the cash-pay rate — it's usually 20–50% below the list price.

Prior Authorization Is Usually Required

Most commercial and Medicare Advantage plans require pre-approval for echocardiogram before scheduling. If your doctor submits the order without prior authorization — or if the authorization lapses — your insurer can deny the entire claim, leaving you responsible for the full cost.

Action step: Call the member services number on your insurance card before scheduling. Ask: "Does this procedure require prior authorization?" Get the authorization number in writing and confirm it's attached to the claim before your appointment.

Who performs this: Echocardiogram is typically performed by a Cardiology. The specialist's professional fee is billed separately from the facility charge — you will likely receive separate bills from each.

  • ✓ Why a facility splits into a technical bill and a separate cardiologist bill (an office bills one global fee)
  • ✓ How the interpreting cardiologist can be out-of-network even at an in-network facility
  • ✓ Why a hospital outpatient department costs far more than a cardiology office or imaging center
