Echo Stress testing

Date: May 6, 2024

Question:

It was noted in question ID 10960 say "Codes 93350 and 93016/93018 are used for physician billing when two different physicians are involved – one performs the cardiovascular stress test (93016/93018) and one performs the echocardiogram (93350)"

The question outstanding is can we report 93350 if there was one supervising physician for echo and stress (ECG monitoring) and 93018 for a different provider to interpret? or do we report 93351 and loose the interpret? If we choose 93350, does there need to be two different documents for each provider?
