MCOT Codes
Date: Feb 19, 2014
Question:
I am hoping you would be able to help me. I am trying to get clarification on MCOT codes 93229 and 93228. The practice bought the MCOTs from Cardionet. They also pay Cardionet a fee (not sure if it is monthly or per monitor usage). Cardionet is telling the doctors to report both codes 93229 and 93228. Also, would it make a difference if they bought them or rented them?
