HCPCS Professional Vs Expert editions

I was wondering what is the differences between these other than the price. I am right now purchasing books and the professional one is cheaper so it is higher on my list to get that one. As this is a book I rarely use it might be best to go that route as I just look up codes in it and don’t really need any guidelines in there which there are not many any way.

Professional Inpatient Services

Inpatient claims for professional services:

We have always put the admit and discharge dates on all our inpatient claims but we have switched EHR vendors and the new vendor is telling us this information is not required. We also started working back end denials for a new group in our organization and they are not using admit/discharge dates on their inpatient claims.

What do you think? What do you do?

professional biling of Treadmill stress testing

What CPT code could I use for a doctors interpretation and report of an EKG treadmill test for his professional fee?

Would the doctor have to be in the room during the testing or not.

Or is it ok for the radiology technician to actually preform the test and the doctor then do the interpretation and written report for his professional fee?
