Can You Report Second EKG Reading?
Published on Wed Jul 10, 2013
Question: Is there a modifier or a procedure code for the following? Patient comes into the office and has an EKG. The physician doing the EKG reviews, interprets, and provides a written report. Then another physician comes in (same practice) and over-reads the EKG reports done by the previous physician. Is there something that can be billed for this?
