    Wiki Nuclear Stress Tests

    Hoping someone has some insight into nuclear stress tests. I am really confused on knowing when to code 93017, in my facility it is usually paired with 93016. It states tracing only. The only thing I can think to match it up with in documentation is the administration of A9502 because when I...

    Wiki Presumptive drug class screening vs definitive drug testing

    How can I distinguish the difference of these two types of tests just by looking at the labs? I am a new coder and have been unable to find someone at work who can answer this question for me.
