    Wiki Electrocardiogram

    I work for a Cardiopulmonary Clinic, that is owned by the hospital. I was told that Insurance will not pay for a new PT visit (99204) with ECG (93000 or 93005). Is there a guideline or rule that states why? Where can I find it? Also, is it ok to code 93040 Rhythm ECG with a New PT visit? Thank you!
