KardiaMobile 6L Subscription costs...
It can be free, or $99 per year, or $299 per year depending on if you need an on-staff cardiologist to review your ECG. I have the free version which works great.
Everyone,
Last week I posted an article on the KardiaMobile 6L portable ECG. If you missed it the first time, read it HERE.
A number of you wanted to know details on their various subscription plan costs. So I asked AliveCor (the makers of the KardiMobile 6L) directly. Turns out it’s free, or can cost $99 or $299 per year depending on the level of support and if you need an on-staff cardiologist on teleconference to review your ECG.
I have the free version which works great since I can send the ECG to my doctor for evaluation and they may be able to bill Medicare directly for the consultation. But check with your cardiologist first…

Hey, it’s me again…
If you have any kind of heart problems and go camping, the ability to take a 6-Lead ECG at a campsite and email it to your heart doctor could save your life. Please discuss this with your care provider and see if it makes sense for you.
Let’s play (and stay) safe out there… Mike
Mike, I have an Apple Watch, which does ECGs and monitors for arrhythmias. Did you happen to compare the Kardia 6L with the Watch? Update: I see the Kardia is 6-lead whereas Apple Watch is 1 lead. Wonder how much difference that makes?
It is important to understand that the subscription is NOT needed to make the unit work, or even for the app to work or, as you noted, Mike, for you to be able to send a recording to your own doctor. The subscription is a type of AFTER support, if you need such and wish to make use of their staff doctors and nurses.
On a more personal note, thank you for telling us about this unit. I ordered one immediately. The price is an absolute steal.
