Take a Stress Test Claim Checkup
Published on Sun Apr 27, 2008
You know cardiovascular stress tests are common procedures, but you may find obtaining correct payment complicated. Check your documentation and claim against these questions:• What kind of test did the cardiologist perform?• Do you have a diagnosis listed on your payer's covered list?• What, if any, supplies did the cardiology practice provide?• Where did the cardiologist perform the test?• Was the cardiologist in the office suite?• Is the patient covered by Medicare or a commercial carrier?
