Coding

On April 1, 2013, CMS announced a unique code for professional services associated with the use of esophageal Doppler monitoring. The code (G9157 Transesophageal Doppler used for cardiac monitoring) is used to bill for professional services for using EDM.

CMS provided billing instructions to guide submission of claims.

(Previously CMS instructed physicians to bill professional services using 76999, the unlisted code for ultrasound diagnostic procedures).

We recommend contacting your payers for appropriate billing instruction and documentation requirements.
