Standard 12-Lead EKG in Chattanooga for $50
Hitchcock Direct Imaging offers standard resting 12-lead electrocardiograms for one clear price of $50. An EKG records the heart’s electrical activity at a single point in time, providing a tracing that your healthcare provider can interpret alongside your symptoms, examination and medical history.
No insurance or Hitchcock membership is required. A healthcare provider’s order is required.
A Simple, Painless Record of Your Heart’s Electrical Activity
A standard 12-lead EKG records the strength and timing of electrical signals as they travel through the heart. The tracing can show heart rate, rhythm and electrical-conduction patterns that the ordering provider may use as part of a broader clinical evaluation.
The test is performed while you rest. Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the chest, arms and legs and connected to the EKG machine. The machine records electrical activity; it does not send electricity into the body.
Important: Hitchcock Direct Imaging records the EKG and sends the tracing and automated machine statement to the ordering provider. Hitchcock does not provide a separate physician or cardiologist interpretation. The ordering provider is responsible for the final clinical interpretation.
Our Approach
Basic diagnostic testing should be straightforward and affordable. We provide a properly recorded 12-lead EKG for one clear price, then return the tracing directly to the clinician who knows the patient and ordered the test.
We’ve simplified the imaging process so you can get the scans you need quickly, affordably, and without insurance hassles.
-
ORDER IMAGING
Ask any licensed healthcare provider to fax your imaging order to (423) 769-0020. You do not need to be a Hitchcock patient.
-
SCHEDULING
We contact CT and ultrasound patients to arrange a convenient appointment. X-ray patients may walk in during imaging hours after we receive the order.
-
GET RESULTS, PAY ONE PRICE
Pay the published all-inclusive price at your visit. A board-certified radiologist interprets the study, and the report is generally sent to the ordering provider within 48–72 hours—often sooner.
One Clear EKG Price
| Standard resting 12-lead EKG | $50 |
The $50 price covers recording the 12-lead EKG and returning the tracing and machine-generated statement to the ordering provider. A separate professional interpretation by Hitchcock Direct Imaging is not included or provided.
What Information Can a Resting EKG Provide?
A standard 12-lead EKG captures the heart’s electrical activity during a brief period at rest. The ordering provider may use the tracing to evaluate:
- Heart rate
- Whether the rhythm appears regular or irregular
- Timing and conduction of electrical signals
- Certain rhythm or conduction abnormalities
- Changes that may require clinical correlation or additional testing
- Baseline electrical activity before a procedure or medication decision
An EKG is a brief snapshot. Heart-rhythm changes that come and go may not appear during the recording, and a normal tracing does not exclude every heart condition.
Who Interprets the EKG?
The EKG machine produces an automated statement along with the tracing. Automated statements are computer-generated and are not a final medical interpretation.
Hitchcock Direct Imaging sends the complete tracing and machine statement to the healthcare provider who ordered the test. The ordering provider is responsible for reviewing the EKG, interpreting it in clinical context and discussing the result or next steps with the patient.
