Hi to all!
When a Resident working in a hospital ED orders a 12 lead EKG and then sends to the strip to be read by the hospital’s Cardiologist,
does the Cardiologist, who is doing the Interpretation and Report without any additional input from the Resident, not add a GC modifier
to the CPT 93010? Or does the GC get added because the Resident produced the EKG strip and will use the report to arrive at the final DX
for the Medicare patient?
Thanks so much for your help!
