My Cardiologist performed an ECHO, 93306 then had an office visit about three weeks later to review the ECHO. He billed the E and M as a new patient, but the entire 93306 service was billed under his NPI, no modifier -26. My take is that he supervised the service, therefore this was, technically, a face-to-face service which would cause a denial for "new patient criteria" by Medicare. Anyone dealt with this?
