What 93229 covers
This code represents the technical work for a 30-day mobile cardiac telemetry service ordered to evaluate suspected intermittent arrhythmias, such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting. Monitoring staff support device setup and patient instruction, receive transmitted ECG data, and analyze it for events that may require notification to the treating clinician. Cardiology practices commonly arrange the service for patients monitoring at home; the clinician’s review and interpretation are reported separately.
Report the technical service for the 30-day monitoring episode, not separately for each transmission or detected event. Documentation should support the monitoring period and the technical services furnished, including setup, instruction, data receipt and analysis, and any relevant event communications. Code 93228 represents the separate professional review and interpretation. CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are billed; that reduction can affect payment for this service.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

93229 billing questions
How does 93229 differ from 93228?
93229 represents the technical services supporting the 30-day telemetry episode. Code 93228 is for the separate professional review and interpretation.
Can the technical service and interpretation both be reported?
Yes. The technical service is reported with 93229, while the physician or other qualified health care professional’s review and interpretation are reported with 93228 when performed.
Is 93229 reported for each alert or ECG transmission?
No. It represents technical support for the 30-day monitoring service, rather than a separate charge for each transmitted tracing or event.
What documentation supports 93229?
Document the monitoring period and the technical work furnished, such as equipment setup, patient instruction, receipt and analysis of ECG data, and relevant event communications.
Can another cardiovascular diagnostic service affect payment?
Yes. CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are billed.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
