Reminder about cardiology services
As previously communicated, we developed several new medical policies and updated an existing one for cardiology services that will take effect on October 1, 2024. We have posted these policies (use links below) in advance of their effective date to help you understand covered diagnoses and coverage frequency for these services.
- Medical policy 114: Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
- Medical policy 115: Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
- Medical policy 116: Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Angiography
- Medical policy 117: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
- Medical policy 118: Single Chamber and Dual Chamber Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers
- Medical policy 119: Ambulatory Electrocardiograph (AECG) Monitoring (REVISED POLICY)
We’ve posted new, revised, clarified, and retired medical and pharmacy medical policies, effective in December 2024.
