CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Myocardial perfusion and cardiac blood pool imaging studies may be performed at rest and/or during stress. When performed during exercise and/or pharmacologic stress, the appropriate stress testing code from the 93015-93018 series should be reported in addition to code(s) 78451-78454, 78472, 78473, 78481 and 78483.
