Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG] R94.31 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM R94.31 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R94.31 - other international versions of ICD-10 R94.31 may differ.
ICD-Code R07. 9 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Chest Pain, Unspecified.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) – CPT and ICD-10 Codes For example, CPT code 93000 denotes a routine electrocardiogram (ECG) with at least 12 leads, including the tracing, interpretation, and report.
The ICD-10 index, like ICD-9, points you to the code for “other chest pain” (R07. 89) for discomfort, pressure, and tightness in chest.
Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG] R94. 31 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R94. 31 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code Z13. 6 for Encounter for screening for cardiovascular disorders is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
93000 includes the ECG with interpretation and report. 93005 is the tracing only without interpretation and report and 93010 is the interpretation and report only. We would expect providers to bill global if both the test and interpretation was performed by the same physician.
31.
G0403 is the global service, so the provider would need to have completed the ECG test and then provided the interpretation and report. If another place provided the ECG, they would submit G0404. The physician providing the interpretation & report would submit G0405.
ICD-10 code R07. 9 for Chest pain, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
“Atypical chest pain is any chest pain that doesn't meet criteria for a common or obvious diagnosis,” Dr. Cooper said. “It's an oddball or grab bag diagnostic category—not very precise or helpful, actually.”
9: Fever, unspecified.
ICD-10 code: Z13. 6 Special screening examination for cardiovascular disorders.
Medicare covers echocardiograms if they're medically necessary. Your doctor may order an electrocardiogram, or EKG, to measure your heart's health. Medicare will also pay for one routine screening EKG during your first year on Medicare.

The default ICD 10 code for chest pain is R07.9 (Chest pain, unspecified). Any additional document specifying the chest pain will require a more accurate code from the following list.
Chest Pain ICD 10 general guidelines: 1 Documentation is the key to accurate coding of the chest pain. If the chest pain is due to any underlying condition and there is documentation of a confirmed diagnosis, the code for chest pain is not to be coded separately. 2 The alphabetic index needs to be referred first followed by the tabular list for accurate coding. 3 The default ICD 10 code for chest pain is R07.9 (Chest pain, unspecified). Any additional document specifying the chest pain will require a more accurate code from the following list.
This is one of the common type of chest pain seen in children and adolescents. Retrosternal pain – Pain behind the sternum or breast commonly caused due to gastrointestinal problems such as GERD.
Documentation is the key to accurate coding of the chest pain. If the chest pain is due to any underlying condition and there is documentation of a confirmed diagnosis, the code for chest pain is not to be coded separately.
Costochondral pain – Chest pain caused by the inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage (Costochondritis) that mimics the pain caused due to a heart attack or other heart conditions. Chest wall syndrome – Stress or injury causing direct or referred pain to the chest wall.
Pleurodynia/Pleuritic chest pain/Pleuralgia – Severe sharp, gripping pain in the muscles between the ribs or in the diaphragm.
Painful respiration – Discomfort or pain associated with inhalation and exhalation due to underlying causes such as infections, musculoskeletal injuries or heart problems .
costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest. some of these problems can also be serious. Get immediate medical care if you have chest pain that does not go away, crushing pain or pressure in the chest, or chest pain along with nausea, sweating, dizziness or shortness of breath.
There can be many other causes, including. heart problems, such as angina. panic attacks. digestive problems, such as heartburn or esophagus disorders. sore muscles. lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embolism. costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest.
Chest: No chest wall tenderness to palpation. Lungs: Clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart: irregularly-irregular rate and rhythm no murmurs gallops or rubs. Normal PMI
Chest X-ray: Lung fields clear. No cardiomegaly or other acute findings
COURSE IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT: The patient’s chest pain improved after the sublingual nitroglycerine and completely resolved with the Nitroglycerin Drip at 30 ug/Minute. He tolerated the TPA well. He was transferred to the CCU in a stable condition
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.
Patient-specific predictors are such things as age, absence or presence of cardiac disease or dysfunction, current and recent stability of cardiac symptoms and syndromes, and the absence or presence of comorbid conditions known to increase the risk that undisclosed cardiac disease is present. Surgery-specific risks relate to the type of surgery and its associated degree of hemodynamic stress. High-risk procedures include major emergency surgery, aortic and major vascular surgeries, peripheral vascular surgery and prolonged procedures associated with large fluid shifts or blood loss. Intermediate-risk procedures include carotid endarterectomy, prostate surgery, orthopedic procedures, head and neck procedures, intraperitoneal and intrathoracic surgery. Low-risk procedures include endoscopy, superficial procedures, cataract surgery and breast surgery.
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.
Patients with cardiac ischemia often present with chest pain. Not infrequently, patients with cardiac ischemia present with symptoms (including atypical chest discomfort) that are atypical for, but which may actually represent myocardial ischemia or infarction. The ECG may be utilized in the evaluation of patients with chest pain (typical or atypical) or other symptoms that are atypical but may be due to cardiac ischemia when an alternate explanation for the symptoms is not apparent.
Medicare coverage of preoperative electrocardiography is limited to those patients who possess one or more patient-specific indicators of increased risk for perioperative cardiac morbidity and who will undergo surgery of high or intermediate risk of cardiac morbidity/mortality. Preoperative ECGs performed in circumstances other than those listed above are considered screening and should be billed accordingly.
Providers are reminded to refer to the long descriptors of the CPT codes in their CPT book. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) require the use of short CPT descriptors in policies published on the Web.
Whereas there is no argument that the ECG is an important diagnostic tool, coverage cannot be provided for ECGs performed when there is no clear relationship to treatment or diagnosis of a specific disease or injury, or a sign, symptom or complaint is apparent. Payment for the services affected by this LCD must be made only for those services that directly contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of an individual patient. Services provided that do not directly contribute to the diagnosis or treatment of an individual patient (such as ECGs that are performed routinely upon admission to a facility or routinely performed prior to surgery) are not medically necessary and will be denied when billed and coded appropriately.
