Stress test :(

I didn't have a stress test. Is that something a particular insurance company request or just another program to program variable?

For me the cardiologist wanted it done. i personally think it was to rack up $$ to bill ins. My surgeon only wanted the ekg but the cardiologist wanted an echocardiogram and stress test too. But I saw where many insurance companies here are requiring the extra testing/clearances.

Do you have heart problems? I didn't have to see a cardiologist either

Nope.. never had any issues. I guess he wants all of his patients to get clearance.
