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.
