Pharmacological stress is typically performed with the use of dipyridamole, adenosine or dobutamine.
A physician monitors the patient’s response to the stress and makes a diagnostic determination. Exercise stress testing is considered the standard of care for most patients when stress testing is indicated. Exercise may be in the form of a treadmill, bicycle or other exercise method.

Code 93350 is used to report the performance and interpretation of a stress echocardiogram only. Bill codes 93015–93018 if the stress test is performed in a hospital setting, along with procedure code 93350. If the stress test and echocardiogram are performed in an office, bill combined code 93351.
Code 93351 is inclusive of stress test and stress echo procedures. Physicians report 93351 when the same physician provides all components (the stress echo and stress test supervision/ interpretation). 93351 is reported by the hospital when both stress echo and stress testing is performed (without contrast).
However, physicians that do not perform all elements will use CPT code 93350 to report the performance and interpretation of the stress echocardiographic imaging study only with the appropriate components of the cardiovascular stress codes reported separately (93016 – 93018).
