CPT Code 93010: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Interpretation and Report Only

CPT 93010 refers to the electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG interpretation and report only, without the technical component of the test. It is used when a provider interprets a previously performed diagnostic test, following proper coding and coding guidelines.

The CPT code for a diagnostic colonoscopy is typically 45378, which covers the examination of the entire colon using a flexible endoscope. Based on proper coding standards, additional codes may apply for procedures like biopsies or polyp removal.

CPT 93010 can be billed once per ECG performed, as long as a separate diagnostic test is conducted and a formal EKG interpretation with report is documented. Following coding guidelines, multiple units may only be billed if multiple distinct ECGs are interpreted on the same day for valid clinical reasons.
