Honestly I couldn't tell you as it varies from different regions. If you live in So. Cal. I could possibly set up a free echocardiogram for you at my school, if not check out this site.

If you have any concerns don't mess around. That's why I got into this field, I
don't want to see anyone else’s family be devastated by this if I can help it.
Freepmail me if you want to discuss it further, I don't mind at all.

I am sure prices would be all over the map but here in SW Fl there was an outfit advertising heavily for three tests together to completely check your circulatory system for $199 They had a semi they went location to location in no doctor you were supposed to take the results to your doc to get treated if needed. Have not seen one of their ads recently but them I have stopped watching TV.

You should be able to bargain with a hospital where if you pay cash within 30 days of the procedure, you would get 15 - 25% off. Here are the charges for two different ultrasounds, neither of which is the chest ultrasound, but should give you an idea of what they cost. The hospital is Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical center in Lebanon, NH. It is a major teaching hospital. Please note that there are two charges, one for the actual ultrasound, and one for the radiologist to read the ultrasound.
Obstetric ultrasound 663 (Hospital charge) and 289 (Professional fee) for a total of $952.00

Ultrasound, pelvis, complete 483 (Hospital) and 271 (Prof. fee) for a total of 754.00

I'd imagine a chest ultrasound would be less than the obstetric, and be somewhere around the pelvis ultrasound.

I'd imagine you could get one done for about 500 - 600 cash, give or take. Hope this helps.

For simple ultra sound screening of the abdominal aorta, carotids, peripheral arteries, and a check for fibrillation, this outfit charges about about $100.

They usually set up in a church or Sr. citizen center. They just to a simple ultrasound screen, not the in depth tests you would get in a hospital, but they can and have spotted problems which your doc should then follow up on with more extensive testing.
