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

What G0405 covers

G0405 covers a physician’s interpretation and written report for a screening ECG performed as part of the initial preventive physical examination, commonly called the Welcome to Medicare visit. The physician reviews the ECG tracing and documents findings such as rhythm, rate, intervals, or conduction abnormalities. The code represents the professional reading, not acquisition of the tracing, and is used in office or facility settings where the IPPE and screening ECG are performed.

Report G0405 when the professional interpretation and report are documented for the IPPE screening ECG. The record should connect the ECG to the preventive examination and include the interpretation and report. CMS identifies G0405 as professional-component-only; the technical portion is reported separately with G0404. G0403 represents the combined screening ECG service when both the tracing and interpretation are furnished.
