Notes: Fee codes are taken from the 2009 OHIP fee schedule. (113) Imputed technical fees were based on the proportion of average technical fees associated with above ECHO and SPECT fee code combinations. For cardiac SPECT and ECHO stress tests, an average test cost was calculated using dobutamine and dipyramidole fee codes.
