About Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a thin tube (catheter) is guided through a blood vessel to the heart to diagnose heart conditions. It can measure pressures inside the heart, detect blocked coronary arteries, and assess heart valve function. It is typically performed in a hospital.
Understanding Your Bill
Cardiac catheterization is a major procedure with multiple billing components: facility fee, physician fee, anesthesia, contrast dye, and post-procedure monitoring. If stent placement is performed during the procedure, costs increase substantially.
