PREAMBLE
    1. The technical and professional fee components for electrocardiogram, G310 and G313, are not
       eligible for payment in the routine preoperative preparation or screening of a patient for non-
       cardiac surgery unless the patient has at least one risk factor for cardiac disease or has known
       or suspected cardiorespiratory disease including dysrhythmias, unless there is a clinical
       indication requiring an ECG other than solely for preoperative preparation of the patient.
                                          [Commentary:

                                            procedural sedation such as cataract surgery unless there is an independent clinical
                                            indication unrelated to the surgery.]
