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
When a single physician performs a stress echo and a complete cardiovascular stress test, report 93351 (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; including performance of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, with physician supervision).
