• 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. • There must be a specific order for an electrocardiogram or rhythm strip followed by a separate, signed, written, and retrievable report.
The specific amount you’ll owe may depend on several things, like:
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

93000 is the complete procedure and includes ECG tracing with physician review, interpretation and report. Use 93005 to report the tracing only, and 93010 to report physician interpretation and written report only.
The two CPT codes used to report AWV services are: G0438 initial visit. G0439 subsequent visit.
No specific diagnosis is required for the Annual Wellness Visit, but Z00. 00 or Z00. 01 is appropriate for the Annual Routine Physical Exam. A Depression Screening (G0444) is a required component within the initial Annual Wellness Visit (G0438) and should not be billed separately.
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.

Encounter for screening for cardiovascular disorders The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z13. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z13.
CPT Code 93010 Reimbursement A maximum of five units of CPT 93010 is allowed to bill on the same day. In contrast, a maximum of three times are allowed when documentation supports the medical necessity of CPT 93010.
Providers should refer to the appropriate Max Fee schedule for allowable services. Cigna: Cigna does not allow 93005 only 93010 and 93000 to be billed on the same date.
- 93000 = EKG tracing with interpretation & report documented on same day as the EKG was taken. - 93010 = EKG tracing with interpretation & report documented on a different day as the EKG was taken.
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 should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The billing and coding information in this article is dependent on the coverage indications, limitations and/or medical necessity described in the associated LCD Electrocardiographic (EKG or ECG) Monitoring (Holter or Real-Time Monitoring) L34636

1. CPT codes for Holter monitoring services (CPT codes 93224-93227) are intended for up to 48 hours of continuous recording.
You, your employees and agents are authorized to use CPT only as contained in the following authorized materials of CMS internally within your organization within the United States for the sole use by yourself, employees and agents.

When submitting claims for the recording only (CPT code 93225) or for the analysis with report only (CPT code 93226) use the date the service was performed as the DOS.

93041 Rhythm ECG One to three leads; tracing only, without interpretation and report
• 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.
A graphic record of electrical potentials produced by cardiac tissue is called Electrocardiography. An electrographic tracing is created when electrical impulses produced by the heart spread to the body surface where they are detected by electrodes connected to a recording device. The ECG is valuable in the evaluation and management of primary diseases of the heart, pericardium and coronary arteries.
All other electrocardiography performed on asymptomatic individuals is considered screening regardless of the presence of risk factors (for cardiac disease) such as family history, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia or advanced age in circumstances where information obtained from the electrocardiogram does not directly affect management of the underlying disease.
