Echocardiogram billing means getting paid for every part of the study you own. In your office, that is the scan and the read on 1 global claim. In a hospital, it is your read, billed with modifier 26.

Your complete echo with Doppler bills as 93306. Without Doppler it is 93307, and a limited study is 93308. Contrast goes on its own supply line, per mL.
Some hospital reads go unclaimed, add-ons get dropped, and a report without spectral Doppler can't support 93306. We reconcile your hospital reads against claims, so every read you sign gets billed.
Echocardiogram CPT codesA stress echo is one study. In your office, 93351 covers the imaging, the stress test and your read.
In a hospital you bill 93351-26, or 93350-26 when another provider runs the stress. Most TEEs are hospital studies, billed 93312-26. Color Doppler on a TEE is its own add-on, 93325.

Denials and appealsEach code pays only when your signed report supports it. In a hospital you bill the 26 for your read.
Strain, 93356, pays only where the plan covers it. Contrast given with a stress echo is its own add-on, 93352.
