A routine ECG with 12 leads, tracing only was performed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Code 93005 represents a routine ECG with 12 leads, tracing and interpretation. As the question states only tracing was performed, code 93005 cannot be used. Codes 93000 and 93010 represent technical components of ECGs, and include only the tracing without interpretation. Code 93015 represents a rhythm ECG, which includes 12-lead tracing and interpretation, as well as a report. Since only the tracing was performed, code 93015 cannot be used. Therefore, the best choice is code 93005.
