Wiki stress echo-What CPT codes

[jenp2005]

What CPT codes would I use for a stress echo done in the cardiologist office?
Thanks for any help.

93350 "Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, during rest and cardiovascular stress test using treadmill, bicycle, exercise and/or pharmacologically induced stress, with interpretation and report".

Try 93351 - that includes the physician part along with the echo. Hope this helps!

Be aware that if there is not documentation of the "continuous electrocardiographic monitoring" (basically a continuous EKG) then the 93351 can not be coded

Yes - I was going to say the same thing!
