A cardiologist uses the hospital's equipment for a cardiac stress test as he doesn't own equipment for the test.
He supervises the test and provides the interpretation and report of the test.
What CPTcodes are reported?
Correct Answer: A
* Procedure: Cardiac stress test performed using hospital's equipment with the cardiologist providing supervision, interpretation, and report.
* CPTCodes:
* 93016: This code is for supervision only without provision of the equipment.
* 93018: This code is for interpretation and report only.
* Code Selection Justification: Since the cardiologist does not own the equipment, codes 93016 and
93018 correctly represent the supervision, interpretation, and report of the test.
