Additional Info

• This code is for any kind of cardiac stress test
  • Regardless of whether the stress is induced by exercise or pharmacologic provocation
  • Regardless of how the "measuring/evaluation" is done -- i.e. it includes standard ECG monitoring, echo monitoring, nuclear (e.g. MIBI) monitoring, other types of cardiac imaging monitoring, etc.
    • When cardiac imaging is done as part of a stress test, do NOT also code the imaging itself
    • Only for resting cardiac imaging should one use either the picklist or components
• This code does NOT include cardiac monitoring at rest, i.e. without stress.

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition

• a different code in Category:Diagnostic Procedure

Other procedure in Diagnostic Procedure:

Related ICD10 Codes

• if appropriate also code
  • Therapeutic Intervention on Heart, NOS or more specific, Nuclear Imaging
• I would consider these all Diagnostic-not Therapeutic.--Llemoine 07:43, 2018 May 17 (CDT)
