CPT 2009 Changes, An Insider’s View states that 93351 “was established to report a stress echocardiogram combined with a complete cardiovascular stress test.” It further states that: Previously, code 93350 was a stand-alone code. Code 93350 has been revised to support the establishment of a child (indented) code 93351.
CARDIOVASCULAR STRESS TEST USING MAXIMAL OR SUBMAXIMAL TREADMILL OR BICYCLE EXERCISE, CONTINUOUS ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC MONITORING, AND/OR PHARMACOLOGICAL STRESS; WITH SUPERVISION, INTERPRETATION AND REPORT
Reimbursement is recommended based on PPO contract allowance of 90% of the billed charges for CPT/HCPCS codes: 78452, A9502, 93017 and J2785. Report proper ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes to support the medical necessity for the use of exercise stress testing.
Stress tests are most often used to: Diagnose coronary artery disease, a condition that causes a waxy substance called plaque to build up in the arteries. It can cause dangerous blockages in blood flow to the heart. Diagnose arrhythmia, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.
ICD-10-CM Code for Stress, not elsewhere classified Z73. 3.
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.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) – CPT and ICD-10 Codes93000 – Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report.93005 – Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; tracing only, without interpretation and report.More items...
Stress testing checks the stability of the system. Performance testing is conducted at below and above threshold limits. Stress testing is conducted at above threshold limits. Performance testing ensures that the system is performing perfectly under varying loads.
