Wiki Adenosine Cardioversion

[dentfam]

How would you code for a cardioversion by adenosine? I see the codes for electrical cardioversion, but not by medication. HELP?

I believe the correct code to use would be 90774.

I believe you can only use that code if the doctor actually administers the drug. In a lot of situations the doctor does not do that. Make sure you ask your doctors if they administer the drug or does a nurse/tech.
