Stress test and echocardiogram

Date: Oct 22, 2012

Question:

Some of our doctors frequently perform a stress test on the same day as an echo. However, the report for the echo will sometimes have CPT 93306 (not the code for the stress echo). Is it always to be considered a "Stress Echo" when the same doctor performs both tests on the same day? Thank you!
