What 93350 covers
A stress echocardiogram records transthoracic images at rest and during cardiovascular stress, then compares cardiac function and wall motion across the two conditions. Cardiologists commonly use it to evaluate suspected or known coronary artery disease, including when a patient exercises on a treadmill or bicycle or receives pharmacologic stress. A sonographer may acquire the images under physician direction; the interpreting clinician reviews the study and prepares the report.
Report 93350 for the stress echocardiography service, not as a substitute for the separately performed ECG stress-test service. The record should identify the indication and stress method and support acquisition and interpretation of the rest and stress images. CMS permits separate professional (26) and technical (TC) billing; billing without either modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

How to choose
- 93351Stress echocardiogram
- Choose 93351 when the service includes continuous ECG monitoring and the cardiovascular stress-test service along with stress echocardiography; 93350 reports the echo service.
- 93306Echocardiogram (TTE)
- 93306 describes a complete resting transthoracic study. 93350 is selected for rest and stress images obtained to evaluate cardiac response to exercise or pharmacologic stress.
- 93015Cardiac stress test
- 93015 reports the cardiovascular stress-test service, not the echocardiographic imaging and interpretation reported by 93350.
93350 billing questions
How is 93350 different from 93351?
93350 reports the stress echocardiography service. 93351 also includes continuous ECG monitoring and the cardiovascular stress-test service.
Can the ECG stress test be reported separately with 93350?
The ECG stress-test service is not included in 93350 and may be separately reported when performed and documented. Use the code that reflects the stress-test service provided.
What do modifiers 26 and TC represent?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation; TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?
CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the rule supplied for this code.
What documentation supports 93350?
Document the clinical indication, whether stress was exercise-based or pharmacologic, the rest and stress image findings, and the interpretation.
