:confused: When coding for a preoperative EKG, I believe it is correct to use V72.81 instead of V72.83. Thoughts?

V72.83
Other specified preoperative examination
Examination prior to chemotherapy
Other pre-procedural examination
Pre-procedural general physical examination

Excludes:
routine general medical examination (V70.0)

V72.81
Preoperative cardiovascular examination
Pre-procedural cardiovascular examination
