The honest reason.
Most providers post a per-session rate and let you do the math. We don't, because the math is misleading if you don't understand the variables that move it.
A solo patient doing in-home treatment in Miami pays more per session than a couple doing two-a-day in Melbourne. A cluster patient in Fort Lauderdale who joins an existing group pays less than someone who activates a new area. A stay-and-treat patient who completes the course in 18 days pays differently than someone on a seven-week schedule.
Posting one number would either be the highest number (and scare off patients who qualify for lower rates) or the lowest number (and set expectations we can't meet for everyone). So instead we explain the variables, and then you call us and we give you a real number for your specific situation. That call takes about 15 minutes.
The variables that move your price.
- In-home vs. in-clinicIn-home includes a travel fee. In-clinic does not. For patients within easy range of Melbourne, in-clinic is often the lower-cost option. For patients far south, in-home with cluster pricing can match or beat it.
- Solo vs. couplesCouples pay a materially lower per-person rate. The travel fee is waived entirely on couples visits — one trip, two patients. This is the single biggest pricing lever available.
- Standard vs. two-a-dayTwo-a-day compresses 35 hours into under three weeks instead of seven. It doesn't change the total cost of treatment, but it reduces the number of visits — which reduces the total travel component for in-home patients.
- Cluster pricingWhen we have two or three patients in the same metro ready to commit, we activate that area and split the travel savings across the group. Cluster patients get the best per-session rates we offer.
Where most patients land.
In-Home · Solo
- —Per-session rate + travel fee
- —Travel fee based on distance from Melbourne
- —Two-a-day option reduces total visit count
- —Best for patients who want treatment at home and are within reasonable range
Travel fee waived for patients within the Melbourne metro area.
In-Home · Couples
- —Per-person rate lower than solo — materially
- —Travel fee waived entirely — one visit, two patients
- —Two-a-day works especially well for couples
- —Highest completion rates of any configuration
The single most cost-effective way to complete EECP. If your partner is a candidate — or even preventive — this is the right choice.
Cluster / Area Group
- —Travel fee split across patients in the cluster
- —Lowest per-session rates we offer
- —Requires 2–3 patients in the same metro to activate
- —Join the waitlist — we reach out when others come forward
Most common in Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie, West Palm, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.
In-Clinic · Melbourne
- —No travel fee — you come to us
- —Private treatment location in Melbourne, FL
- —Standard or two-a-day schedule available
- —Stay-and-treat option: complete the course in under 3 weeks
Exact address shared during your initial call. Best for patients who prefer to travel to a fixed location or want to complete treatment quickly.
We are cash-pay. Here's what that means for you.
We do not accept insurance reimbursement as payment for any EECP treatment. That is a deliberate choice — it keeps our practice nimble, pricing transparent, and lets us treat the full range of indications without being constrained by what any particular insurer will authorize.
If EECP is a covered indication for your situation — Medicare covers EECP for chronic stable angina under National Coverage Determination 20.20, and most commercial insurers follow Medicare's lead for that indication — you are welcome to submit our documentation to your insurer for potential self-reimbursement. We will provide whatever documentation you need. We just don't handle that process on your behalf.
For off-label indications — long COVID, cognitive decline, peripheral artery disease, erectile dysfunction, prevention — coverage is variable to unlikely regardless of provider. Cash-pay is the practical reality for most of those patients, and our pricing reflects that we're not billing a middleman.
Medicare and angina
Medicare formally covers EECP for chronic stable angina under NCD 20.20. If angina is your primary indication, you may be able to self-submit our documentation for partial reimbursement. We'll walk you through what we can provide on the intake call.
HSA / FSA
EECP is a qualified medical expense. HSA and FSA funds can generally be used for treatment. Confirm with your plan administrator — but in most cases, yes.
Payment timing
We typically structure payment in blocks rather than session-by-session. The specifics are worked out during intake. We don't require full prepayment of the entire course.
A 15-minute call will get you an actual price for your situation.
Tell us your city, whether you're considering solo or couples treatment, and roughly what your schedule looks like. We'll tell you which configuration fits best and what it costs. No pressure, no commitment.
