Patients need a spirited leader, and we should support them appropriately. The correct codes for the stress test are 93016 for the supervision of the test and 93018 for the interpretation and the report. Code 93015 covers both the professional and technical components of the service and should be submitted only if the physician who provides the service owns the stress testing equipment. We regret the error. We want to hear from you.
