The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for the visual fields testing in accordance with the applicable LCD.
Documentation should include relevant medical history, a physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures supporting the need for visual fields testing.
The diagnosis code(s) reported on the claim must best describe the patient's condition for which the visual fields testing was performed.
Refer to NCCI and OPPS requirements prior to billing Medicare to ensure coding compliance and to determine any bundling or packaging edits.

Ultrasound of soft tissues of the head and neck is covered when it is reasonable and necessary as defined by Local Coverage Determination L34027.
An ECG is covered when the result is relevant to the management, diagnosis, or treatment of the patient.
A separate ECG on the same day as a cardiac stress test is payable only when it provides additional clinically necessary information beyond the stress test (e.g., to rule out acute myocardial infarction prior to performing the stress test).
Rhythm ECGs are covered when used to evaluate signs or symptoms suggesting a cardiac rhythm disorder.
Home-based ECG services (including additional payment above the base ECG amount for transportation) are covered when there is a documented medical need to perform the ECG in the patient's home, typically for homebound or bed-confined patients.
A second professional component (PC) interpretation may be paid when a second physician’s substantially greater expertise is necessary and reasonable to clarify a questionable or confusing ECG finding and contributes substantially to diagnosis or treatment.
