I had a routine stress test done a few years ago and the
hospital charged the insurance company $14,000. Made me start thinking
about it.

My nuclear
stress test a few years ago was $4700.

I guess this was a more involved test than what I got.
They just had me hooked up to an EKG and had me go up and down a
little step box, right there in the office with the little blonde girl
who works for doc running the machine. It was just part of a wellness
physical.
It was essentially the same as the one I did at Georgetown in 1961-2
when they thought I had a heart murmur. (I was in a study)
I wish I had the tape from my test at 13 to compare to me at 70.

Mine was a colossal pain in the ass. First, I was injected with isotopes
and sat on a torture chair while some sort of radiation reading camera
whirled slowly around me. Then I was up on a treadmill until I was ready
to pass out, died, or completed the test. Then I rested for 30 minutes
and was back up on the chair with the whirling camera. To increase my
anxiety during the treadmill portion, the doc told me ( I was looking
out the window) that he was sure my mother in law was walking down the
medical campus.

I guess they think you have more heart problems than me. Mine was just
an expansion of the normal Medicare wellness exam. I end up getting 2
every year. My doc does a better exam than the minimal "house call"
UHC requires. That is some woman who is really incompetent.
