Is it appropriate to bill a 93307 and a 93350 together on the same day?
I'm thinking no, but need help.
thank you,

93307 Echocardiography, transthoraic, real time with image documentation(2d) with or withtout M-mode recording .Complete

93350 Echocardiography, transthoraic, real time with image documentation(2d) with or withtout M-mode recording, during rest and cardiovascular stress test using treadmill,bicycle exercise and/or pharmacologically induced stress, with interpretation and report.

93350 includes a stress portion w/I&R whereas 93307 does not.

What is the procedure you are reporting? Is this an echo or a stress echo you are looking to code?

the group I'm pre-billing for has been reporting these 2 codes together, however only one is getting paid. I know nothing about these procedures.
Is it ok to bill them both on the same encounter?
I hope I'm giving you enough info.
thanks, Susan
