Question

A patient was seen in the General Hospital ED by Dr. Ouch; the patient presented with heart palpitations and extreme fatigue. Dr. Ouch ordered an EKG which was performed at the hospital. The EKG was read and a report was documented by Dr. Love, a cardiologist at Hearts R Us Clinic; CPT code 93010 was billed by Dr. Love. The EKG showed atrial fibrillation. Dr. Ouch discharged the patient from the ED with instructions to follow-up with Dr. Love at Hearts R Us Clinic the following day. The patient was seen at Hearts R Us Clinic the next day by Dr. Love. Under the element "Amount and/or Complexity of Data to Be Reviewed and Analyzed" on the MDM table, should Dr. Love count "independent interpretation of a test performed by another physician/other QHCP" because the EKG was done at General Hospital. Why or why not?
