Most hospitals charge $300-$500. Most insurances will cover this cost. If your doctor has the ekg machine in his/her office it should also be covered by your insurance. If you don't have insurance, try your local goverment clinic. Ekg's at a clinic are usually free.

It varies depending on the type of scan you are receiving and the duration of the scan, i would think no more than 700 - 800 dollars. These types of health treatments are ambiguous at best, you should consult a physician before doing anything to "official" icy-hot pads are great, and fluids do as much as-the stereotype.

An electrocardiogram varies in cost depending on where you get it and the rates of those that perform it and read it. It can cost as little as 24 dollars and as much as 43 dollars for the actual test and then would cost more to be read and have the information given back to you.
