Good afternoon everyone,
For the following procedures can we bill for an EKG on the same day?
1) Pacemaker implant or repositioning: we were told to bill for all EKGs, correct?
With modifier -76 or -77 and a modifier -59. Correct?
Which modifier is in the first position?
2) Cardioversion: do not bill any EKGs before the procedure, however you could bill all the EKG's after the procedure. Correct?
3) Cardiac Caths: do not bill any EKG on the same day. Correct?
If you can please list your source for this information. Thank you so much!
