ER Physician charging CPT 93010
The cardiologist read the report" Also, Medicare denied the ER physician's charge for CPT 93010 & paid the cardiologist charge for this same procedure: I have doubts the ER physician actually dictated a report for the EKG.
I feel there was no medical necessity for the ER physician in his/her charging for CPT 93010 and therefore the patient should not be liable

the charge goes to the provider that actually performed the interpretation and provides the interpretation report. It sounds like the cardiologist provided this service so no the ED physician cannot charge for it.
