Remote echocardiogram & nuclear interpretations
I have some confusion for place of service for physician interpretations of testing when done remotely. Our physicians have the ability to read echocardiograms & nuclear stresses, etc. remotely from several offices. CMS recently made some changes regarding the remote read.
Examples:i
inpatient: stress test general supervision
office: remote nuclear physician interpretation
outpatient hosp. echocardiogram
office: physician remote read
inpatient echocardiogram
inpatient physician reading in hospital lab
