I'm hoping I can get some opinions and perhaps some reference to documentation indicating which scenario is appropriate.
Patient has an EKG performed on 2/1/16. The physician doesn't perform an official interpretation of this EKG until 2/5/16. Because it's all being done by the same provider, we would bill the global EKG code - 93000.
What date of service would you bill this under? 2/1 because that's when there was a face-to-face encounter for the testing? Or 2/5 because that's when the EKG was interpreted?
Thank you in advance!!
