Cardiology billing

Hi
I work for Neurosurgeons, and we will be bringing in a cardiologist onboard. He will be assisting the Neurosurgeons in the spine surgeries, but with the approaches only. How do I bill for the Cardiologist services? He will be working under our group NPI and Tx ID.

Will he be considered an assistant or Do i bill his codes with a modifier?

Cardiology -Isoproterenol stimulation during 12-lead EKG monitoring in the EP LAB

1.) Please help with coding this procedure. High Dose IV drug Isoproterenol Infusion stimulation was used to provoke premature ventricular (PVC’s) contractions while doctor monitored an EKG telemetry monitor. how is this coded since patient was taken to the EP lab-this was not performed in an office setting-it was out-patient. Could cpt code 96365 be used?

Intervention Cardiology

Hi, My physicians like using the Ultrasound gudied vascular access code 76937, I understand that it has to be used with a qualifying primary code. My question is the documentation, with the understanding that in order to bill 76937 there is required documentation, but does that documentation explicit have to refer to the Vascular procedure being performed?

example: my physicians will perform Heart Cath with a Vascular procedure, i.e stent placement in pulmonary artery and want to bill the 76937 but the documentation doesn’t refer to the stent placement even though it has all the required elements, it refers to another vessel, like accessing a femoral vessel because it’s know that the pt has small femoral vessels for hemodynamics, once this is done then they note they turn their attention to the stent placement but no documentation stating the Ultrasound guidance was used for that. Under these circumstances should 76937 be billed?

Thanks in advance for any feed back anyone can provide
