I have researched this question prior to posting it here, but did not find specific guidance to answer my question, so I am posting my question here......
I have a clinic that wants to report codes 93000 for a routine ECG and 93040 for rhythm ECG, 1-3 leads together. I am curious under what circumstances you would report these two procedures together. I am aware that NCCI Edits bundle 93040 into 93000 and they can be reported separately via modifier 59 appended to code 93040 if the criteria is met, but under what circumstances would you report these two procedures together?
Thanks.
