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
A medication that stresses the heart for a period of. about 6 minutes is given through an IV. As in the treadmill stress test, the. isotope is given at the âpeakâ of the medication stress effect. A minute later, the drug stress is stopped or reversed with an antidote that eliminates the. drug effect on the heart. The drugs used in these tests are known as. dipyrimadole, adenosine and dobutamine. Each medication has specific side. effects, which are carefully watched for during the test. The point of any stress test is to increase the work of the heart along. with the heart rate and blood pressure.
