Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93010 covers

93010 covers a clinician’s interpretation of a resting ECG with at least 12 leads, including assessment of rate, rhythm, intervals, conduction, and possible ischemic changes. The interpreting clinician documents findings and a conclusion in a separate report. Cardiologists, emergency physicians, hospitalists, and internists may interpret tracings recorded in emergency departments, inpatient units, or preoperative areas. Most Medicare services for this code occur in facilities.

CMS treats 93010 as a professional-component-only code. The tracing-only portion is represented by 93005 when separately reported by the entity furnishing it. If one billing entity furnishes and reports both portions of the same ECG, use the complete-service code 93000 instead. Do not append modifier 26 to 93010; the code already identifies the interpretation and report. Support the claim with a separate, authenticated report containing findings and a conclusion, not just a note that the ECG was reviewed. Distinct, medically necessary ECGs repeated on the same date need separate interpretations; document their times or clinical indications. Modifier 76 may identify a repeat service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional.
