MEDICINE TESTS
 
 

 


Effective January 1, 2023, this information is no longer up-to-date. The material on this page covers only the 1995 and 1997 E/M guidelines and is no longer accurate. A new set of E/M guidelines was released in 2021, with some minor modifcations added for 2023. These new guidelines are now used to document all encounters in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. For the most recent E/M coding guidance, visit our home page here.

 

Remember, you only get ONE point for reviewing OR ordering these tests (NOT one point for ordering AND one point for reviewing results).

Medicine tests refer to CPT codes 90700 - 99199 which include EKGs, EEGs, PFTs, echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, cardiac stress tests, audiometry, speech or swallow studies, pacemaker interrogations, arterial or venous doppler studies, plethysmography, non-invasive arterial studies (such as ABIs), transcranial doppler studies, allergy testing, sleep studies, EMGs, evoked potentials, tensilon testing and nutritional assessments.
