Standard test for subclinical atherosclerosis. Self-pay typically $100-150 with a national range of roughly $50-400, reaching $300-400 in major metros. Rarely covered by insurance including original Medicare. A score of zero is a strong negative predictor. Generic procedure rather than a single vendor, so price varies by imaging centre.
