Incomplete treadmill test, CPT® 93015

If a treadmill test has to be stopped prematurely, do you need to append modifier 53 to 93015?

What do you mean prematurely?

re: Incomplete treadmill test, CPT® 93015

The test was stopped after 2 minutes due to negligible endurance. The report was documented stating that the test is indeterminate. I feel like this is still a complete test, but am not sure.

If you had the medical necessity to do the test and the physician stopped the test due to patient endurance, I would code the symptoms.
