Our internal med physicians read EKG's for the hospital, since 10/1/15 there is no LCD for CPT code 93010 and all of our charges are being denied for Medical Necessity. Does anyone know how we should be billing this charge now?

What codes are you using that have been denied?

The most recent denial was for R07.9 and I21.3.

Chest pain & STEMI certainly meet medical necessity. I would question whether medical necessity was the actual reason for the denial.

Chest pain and STEMI do both meet medical necessity but you should not code them together. you use either the chest pain or the STEMI. I would think the chest pain would be the one I would use.
