A cardiologist uses the hospital's equipment for a cardiac stress test as he doesn't own equipment for the test. He supervises the test and provides the interpretation and report of the test.
Procedure: Cardiac stress test performed using hospital's equipment with the cardiologist providing supervision, interpretation, and report.
CPT® Codes:
93016: This code is for supervision only without provision of the equipment.
93018: This code is for interpretation and report only.
Code Selection Justification: Since the cardiologist does not own the equipment, codes 93016 and 93018 correctly represent the supervision, interpretation, and report of the test.
