"Determining the exact number of insurance-covered echocardiograms performed annually in the United States is challenging due to variations in data reporting and the involvement of multiple insurance providers. However, available data provides some insights:
Medicare Beneficiaries: Between 2007 and 2011, approximately 34 million echocardiography procedures were performed on Medicare beneficiaries, averaging about 6.8 million procedures per year.
Medicare Fee-for-Service Patients: In 2019, over 7.5 million transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) were performed among Medicare fee-for-service patients.
North America: According to a 2021 article in the British Medical Journal, over seven million echocardiograms are performed annually in North America.
Given that Medicare primarily covers individuals aged 65 and older, and considering the broader population including those with private insurance and Medicaid, the total number of insurance-covered echocardiograms in the U.S. is likely higher than these figures suggest. However, comprehensive data encompassing all insurance types is not readily available."
