EKG (Tracing Only)

A 12-lead ECG records the heart's electrical activity from twelve angles at once, using ten sticky electrodes on the chest and limbs. This particular code covers only the recording of that tracing — the physician's reading and written report are billed under a separate code. The test takes a few minutes and is painless.
