Happy, happy to die of love. When he takes me in his arms. And speaks softly to me, I see life in rosy hues. He tells me words of love, Words of every day, And in them I become something.
Question: Our office is interested in performing dobutamine stress echos. We bill 93350/93015 for the stress echo and would use J1250 for the dobutamine, but I am unsure what other codes may be applicable. Cheryl Agent Cardiac Care Associates, Crown Point, IN
The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for management of hypotension complicating AMI suggest the use of dobutamine as a first-line agent if systolic blood pressure ranges between 70 and 100 mm Hg in the absence of signs and symptoms of shock.
