Pre-op and post-op EKGs

Date: Mar 7, 2019

Question:

We have seen what seems to be some mixed guidance on routine pre-op and post-op EKGs charged with EP ablations and cardioversions. Is it ever appropriate to charge EKGs performed routinely before and after either of these procedures? Our facility wants to charge these before and after every ablation and cardioversion.
