What 93244 covers
Code 93244 covers the professional review and interpretation of data from an external ECG monitor worn for more than 48 hours and less than 7 days. A cardiologist or other qualified professional may interpret the recording when evaluating intermittent palpitations, suspected arrhythmia, or episodes such as unexplained syncope. The interpretation considers the recorded rhythm and may relate findings to the patient’s reported symptoms. This code represents the interpretive service, not the monitor placement or technical handling of the data.
Report 93244 when the professional interpretation and report are performed and documented. The record should support the monitoring period, the findings reviewed, and the clinician’s conclusions. CMS identifies this as a professional-component-only code; a separate code covers the technical portion, such as recording and analysis. Select the code family according to the monitoring duration, not simply the number of rhythm events or the time spent interpreting the results. The interpretation code does not by itself represent the complete technical service.

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.
