Holter monitors

(1/1)

dh1985:
A holter monitor was placed on a patient on 5-1-12 through hospital outpatient department.  My physician reads the holter monitor on 5-4-12.  What date would I use to bill out for the PHYSICIAN READING of the holter monitor - 5-1-12 the date holter was placed or 5-4-12 the date the reading actually took place? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

if billing for the reading, the date the reading was done,  I believe.  I would go with the 5/4/12.

I have been using the date of the actual reading (ie 5-4-12) but I was second guessing myself.

Thanks for confirming for me.

You would use the date that the holter monitor was read. That way it is the same date as documented in the medical record.
