Cardiology Question for the Week of May 29, 2023

Question:

Would we report a modifier with code 93926 in a physician-owned setting?

Answer:

If performed in a physician-owned, non-facility setting in which the physician owns the equipment, employs the staff, and performs and reads the study, no modifier is required as this constitutes global billing.
