Negotiation Tips

EKGs are one of the most overcharged procedures relative to Medicare rates -- Medicare pays about $30 while hospitals charge $200-500
Check whether you are being billed for both the tracing (93005) and the interpretation (93010) separately when a global code (93000) should cover both
If the EKG was performed as part of a pre-operative screening, it may be bundled into the surgical facility fee
An EKG takes only a few minutes to perform -- any charge over $100 for an outpatient EKG warrants negotiation
