Wiki 93306 - echocardiography, transthoracic, real time with image documentation 2D

[tanaleigh24]

We have patients getting an echo to check and see if they are good candidates to receive chemotherapy. The echo is charged and, if the patient qualifies, they go back into the hospital on a different visit for the chemo which is charged separately. I'm trying to figure out what diagnosis would be best to put on the order for the echo. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have looked at:

Z01.810 - Encounter for preprocedural cardiovascular examination
Z01.818 - Encounter for other preprocedural examination

93306 for chemotherapy

This is from NGS - MAC J6 Minnesota.

* Report ICD-10 code Z01.818 when the test is performed as a baseline study before chemotherapy.
* Report ICD-10-CM code Z51.81 for subsequent monitoring while the patient is receiving chemotherapy.
* Report ICD-10-CM code Z08 for testing when chemotherapy is completed.

I also add the dx that the patient is being treated for.
