How would you code a dobutamine stress echo done at the hospital?
 
If your doctor supervises and provides the report, performs the doppler portion of the stress echo you would code as follows:

93016
93018
93350-26
93320-26
93325-26

Since the test is being done in the hospital the physician cannot bill for administration of the dobutamine.
