Claims should be supported with documentation consistent with LCD L36129; this article provides billing and coding guidelines that complement that LCD and should be used alongside the LCD when submitting claims.
Billing, coding, and guideline information herein complement and must be used in conjunction with the Local Coverage Determination MolDX: Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment (LCD L36358); follow LCD L36358 for clinical criteria and claim adjudication.
Required documentation and claim substantiation should follow the documentation requirements and MolDX program instructions in LCD L36362; no additional specific forms or certifications are specified in this article.
Document the medical necessity for the chosen test frequency in the medical record (preferably on the test report).

No clinical indications are specified in this article; coverage indications are determined by the referenced LCD L36362 (MolDX: Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment).
Stress testing (exercise or pharmacological, including stress echocardiography) is covered when the results will potentially affect the patient’s treatment plan.
An initial follow-up stress test may be indicated several months after myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) when clinically appropriate.
A second follow-up stress test may be indicated approximately one year after the first follow-up test following MI, CABG, or PTCA when clinically appropriate.
Patients with silent coronary disease (no reliable signs or symptoms) may require stress testing as often as annually when clinically indicated.
Patients who present with reliable symptoms or signs of coronary artery disease (e.g., angina pectoris) may require stress testing as dictated by symptoms but typically will not require annual testing.
