What it is

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the heart's electrical activity using 12 or more stickers placed on the chest, arms and legs. It checks heart rhythm and signs of heart strain or past heart attacks. This code includes the doctor's interpretation and report.

What the price covers

93000 covers both recording the tracing and the interpretation. In hospitals the tracing (93005) and interpretation (93010) are often billed separately, so the listed price may not match.
