Let's say a patient comes into the ED with chest pain. An EKG is performed, and it's determined that the patient needs to have cardiac catheterization done that same day. Can the ED charge for the EKG, or is it a component of the cardiac cath done on the cardiology floor? If it is separate, how can this be billed?

Thanks for your help!
