New patient comes in and has HTN and CAD. Doc performs an EKG so she has a baseline to go off of for future comparisons. How do you code this?
 
Per the Medicare LCD list, you can bill the EKG with both of the dx codes you provided; 401.1, 414.01. There isnt a dx code to indicate that the doctor is performing the EKG to establish a baseline reading. Check the LCD list L28255 for billable dx.

Good luck!
