Hoping someone can help me.
Scenario: Nuclear Med Radiologists own a stand alone NM facility...so global billing. If they perform the Myocardial Perfusion Imaging studies (CPT codes 78451-78454) are they also able to code the EKG/ECG/Stress Studies (CPT codes 93015-93018)? I do know that they do not interpret the EKG/ECG/Stress Test so they would not code or bill the 93015 at all. I am finding conflicting information on if the stress test is included in the MPI studies for a stand alone facility.
Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
