Hi all!
I work for a medium family practice and a couple of our physicians will go to the local hospital to supervise a treadmill test, interpret and report.
We are currently billing 93016 and 93018.
One of my providers is questioning if this is correct or if we can bill an office visit with the above codes since he spends approximately 30 minutes in discussing results, etc.
I know we cannot bill an office visit but is there a billable code for the assessing and discussing results in addition to the supervision, interpretation and report that would be appropriate for the additional time he spends with the patient?
Does anyone have any supporting evidence either way?
Thank you in advance,
Christina Medina, CPC
