Electrocardiogram, routine ECGCPT® Code 93000 in section: Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads.
An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in the heart. It's a common and painless test used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor the heart's health. An electrocardiogram — also called ECG or EKG — is often done in a health care provider's office, a clinic or a hospital room.Mar 19, 2022
Modifier 76 is used to report a repeat procedure or service by the same physician and is appended to the procedure to report: Repeat procedures performed on the same day. Indicate that a procedure or service was repeated subsequent to the original procedure or service.Feb 21, 2020
EKG recordings are used to diagnose a wide range of heart disease and other conditions that manifest themselves by abnormal cardiac electrical activity. EKG services are covered diagnostic tests when there are documented signs and symptoms or other clinical indications for providing the service.Nov 10, 2021
Code 93005's PCTC indicator is “3,” which indicates “technical component only” code.Mar 28, 2010
CPT code 93010 is valued at 0.17 relative value units and has a Medicare allowable of $8.64. Each individual ECG doesn't reimburse much, but when you consider that perhaps more than 10 percent of your patients end up having an ECG, it can certainly add up.Sep 11, 2018

The following are indications for which the ECG is appropriate: Cardiac ischemia or infarction (new symptoms or exacerbations of known disease). Anatomic or structural abnormalities of the heart such as congenital, valvular or hypertrophic heart disease. Rhythm disturbances and conduction system disease.
The physician reviews the X-ray, treats, and discharges the beneficiary. Palmetto GBA receives a claim from a radiologist for CPT code 71010-26 indicating an interpretation with written report with a date of service of January 3. Palmetto GBA will pay the radiologist’s claim as the first bill received.
An electrocardiogram is a graphic tracing of the variation in electrical potential caused by the excitation of the heart muscle and detected at the body surface . The normal electrocardiogram shows deflections resulting from atrial and ventricular activity. The first deflection, P, is due to excitation of the atria.
If CPT modifier 77 is not appropriate, both the physician treating the patient in the emergency room and the radiologist may still submit documentation with the initial claim to support that the interpretation results were provided in time and/or used in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
For EKGs, the interpretation must include appropriate comments on any three of the following six elements: (1) the rhythm or rate (2) axis, (3) intervals, (4) segments, (5) notation of a comparison with a prior EKG if one was available to the physician, and (6) summary of clinical condition.
An ECG is performed while the patient is in the emergency department. The emergency physician performing his evaluation and management service interprets this ECG and makes a decision as to the type of treatment that is required for this patient.
For EKGs, the interpretation must include appropriate comments on any three of the following six elements: (1) the rhythm or rate (2) axis, (3) intervals, (4) segments, (5) notation of a comparison with a prior EKG if one was available to the physician, and (6) summary of clinical condition.
The total RVUs for global procedure only codes include values for physician work, practice expense, and malpractice expense. The total RVUs for global procedure only codes equals the sum of the total RVUs for the professional and technical components only codes combined.
Separate reimbursement for ECGs that are considered incidental is not allowed . An ECG is considered mutually exclusive to physician services for cardiac rehabilitation (CPT code 93797). Separate reimbursement for ECGs that are considered mutually exclusive is not allowed.
BCBSNC will reimburse for interpretation of the ECG once , except under unusual consultative circumstances. The interpretation or the fee for the interpretation should be submitted based on place of service where the ECG was performed.

• Codes 93040-93042 are appropriate when an order for the test is triggered by an event, the rhythm strip is used to help diagnose the presence or absence of an arrhythmia, and a report is generated.
Subsequent interpretations or readings by another physician (indicated by the -77 modifier) will not be covered. A re-interpretation by another physician is considered an integral part of the primary physician's medical care.
