Standard exercise stress test (treadmill, bicycle, ergometer); 93015 | Typical angina; atypical angina; normal findings on ECG in a patient with risk of coronary artery disease | $ 98.89 | $175 to 250 |
Exercise stress test scintigraphy (e.g., thallium-201); 93015 and 78461 | Abnormal findings on baseline ECG that limit value of standard exercise stress test; standard test produced equivocal or unexpected results | 298.00 | 350 to 450 |
Pharmacologic stress scintigraphy; 93015 and 78461 | Typical angina with poor exercise capacity; severe obesity; patient is receiving antianginal agents, which may blunt heart rate; paced rhythm, significant ectopy or left bundle branch block; poor exercise tolerance; severe congestive heart failure; unstable angina with known coronary artery disease | 298.00 | 350 to 450 |
Echocardiography combined with either pharmacologic or exercise stress test; 93350 and 93015 | Moderate to severe pulmonary disease, especially COPD, and poor exercise tolerance; assessment of wall motion or valvular function with increased heart rate; may help distinguish single-vessel and multiple-vessel disease | 238.71 | 350 to 600 |
