All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record, be legible, include complete patient identification (e.g., full name, dates of service), and be made available to the contractor upon request.
Every submitted medical record page must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care.
The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s) and the submitted CPT/HCPCS code must accurately describe the service performed.
If the service provider differs from the ordering/referring physician, the performing provider must maintain hard copy documentation of test results and interpretation plus copies of the ordering/referring physician’s order for the studies.

Coverage for non-emergent outpatient stress testing is subject to the reasonable and necessary requirements in Local Coverage Determination L35083 and is allowed only when L35083 clinical criteria are met.
CPT 78434 (gated SPECT) may be reported only in conjunction with CPT 78431 or CPT 78492 when billed for SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
SPECT MPI includes routine evaluation of left ventricular wall motion and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as part of the MP1 service definition.
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is medically necessary when the patient has one or more documented diagnoses listed as supporting medical necessity (e.g., F91.9, G97.81, T81.9XXA, T88.8XXA, F79) and the diagnosis is matched to the anesthesia/CPT/HCPCS procedure performed.
Use G9 anesthesia modifier to indicate need for MAC due to a history of severe or advanced cardiopulmonary disease when the proceduralist determines additional monitoring is required.
Use G8 anesthesia modifier for certain deep, complex, complicated, or markedly invasive surgical procedures when applied to anesthesia codes 00100, 00300, 00400, 00160, 00532, or 00920.
