If a nurse is furnishing services that do not require the need for a respiratory therapist would the service be separately billable?
In the example of the EKG with an EP study, do you agree that we should report the 93005 but not modify it with modifier 59? Do other hospitals override the edit instead of using the GZ?

If my provider performs an intervention at the arterial anastomosis, is this defined by arterial angioplasty or stenting codes?
Is there a difference between the peripheral segment start and end points if the patient has an AV -Shunt in the arm or the leg?
For CT exams, do you know if we have to specify the type and volume of contrast for billing, or is it just the statement that iodinate contrast was administered enough? I was unable to find any type of reference source as it should be documented or stating iodinate contrast is enough. Could you direct me to some type of reference source to share with my providers?
Should the date of service (DOS) of the FFR derived from a CTA be the same as the DOS of the coronary CTA?

If the hospital receives outside images (consult) of the CTA and derives the FFR from that CTA, can the hospital bill for the FFR service?
