Sleep Study (for Cardio patient) w/Pulmonology interpretation
Patient brings back equipment and Cardio downloads report
Pulm picks up report and does interpretation 95800 with Mod -26
But, if Total Recording Time (TRT) is less than 6 hours, Pulm also adds a Mod -52 for reduced services.
The question remains if Cardio needs to add Mod -52 to their charges even if their work was done when handing off equipment.
We cannot find definite answer to this and want to bill correctly.
GC Modifier and EKG Interpretation and Report
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!

Interpretation of the symbol “/” related to coding
If a Physician documented: depression/anxiety, what is the correct coding method that I can use for this medical assessment?
Thank you.

Same day procedures, different day of interpretation
What if there’s a copay associated with it? It’s not the doctor’s fault that it was read on Day 2.
Thanks.
Ultrasound without the interpretation report
The Dr performed and US but I don’t have the interpretation report. I only have the imaging. I queried the office and they say they only have the imaging. My question is can I bill an US based only in the imaging? Can I bill for the technical component? if so how will that be? Thank you!
Supervision and Interpretation for 20611
Would you please tell me what you are looking for to support the imaging guidance portion of 20611? We recently went through an audit and all of our 20611’s were down coded because the documentation "did not contain appropriate information to support the supervision and interpretation portion of the code."
If the doctor gives information to support why the ultrasound was necessary and states that ultrasound what used, what other documentation are you looking for? He does state the anatomical location he is injecting but does not identify step by step what he sees on the ultrasound. Is that what he needs to do?
Thank you,
Jes
