Why is the MCG procedure more costly than a typical ECG?
MCG is not a conventional ECG — While the in-office testing procedure is nearly identical to a conventional resting ECG the detailed analysis performed by Premier Heart’s servers enables substantially more accurate diagnoses than can be made from conventional ECGs. The cost of MCG testing is actually significantly lower than other widely used techniques (Stress testing, CT Angiography) while the results are substantially more accurate. The cost of the MCG test also represents Premier Heart’s investment in research and development, including compiling the largest database of its kind to aid physicians in reaching rapid, accurate, evidence-based diagnoses and our ongoing commitment to research and development to improve the accuracy of this groundbreaking technology.
