I code for a Geriatric clinic. We have a patient that has come in as a new patient. They are past the "Welcome to Medicare" visit time limit. Our doc performed an EKG to have a baseline on file. Is it coded V70.0? Or is there another way to code this? Thanks for your help !
 
I have never had this situation but I looked at screening dx and I like V81.2 Special screening for other and unspecified cardiovascular conditions.

I'm sure you probably know this but I want to point out anyway, they have changed the time limit on the welcome to medicare visits.
