About this procedure
An EKG technical fee (the recording-only portion) — when an EKG is performed at one facility but interpreted by a cardiologist at another.
What to expect
Same patient experience as a full EKG (5 minutes, sticky pads on chest/arms/legs). The fee structure splits the technical portion (the machine + technician) from the professional reading. You may see two charges on your bill — that's normal.
