What 93248 covers

This service is the physician’s review of extended ambulatory electrocardiographic data and preparation of an interpretation and report. It is commonly used when symptoms such as intermittent palpitations, dizziness, or syncope need rhythm evaluation over more time than a short Holter recording provides. A cardiologist or other qualified physician interprets the recorded tracing and documents relevant rhythm findings and their clinical significance.

Select this duration-based service when the monitoring period is more than 7 days but less than 15 days. The record should support the monitoring period and the physician’s interpretation of the submitted ECG data. Under CMS, 93248 represents the professional interpretation and report only; the technical portion is covered by a separate code. When the service is divided by component, the recording and scanning analysis are represented separately from this professional 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.

93248 billing questions

When should 93248 be selected instead of 93244?

Use 93248 for interpretation and reporting after monitoring lasting more than 7 but less than 15 days. Code 93244 is in the shorter, more-than-48-hour-to-7-day monitoring family.

Does 93248 include the recording and scanning analysis?

No. 93248 represents the professional interpretation and report; recording and scanning analysis are technical services represented separately when the components are billed separately.

Which codes represent the technical portions of this monitoring service?

In the component-based code family, 93246 represents recording and 93247 represents scanning analysis. Code 93248 represents the interpretation and report.

Should modifier 26 be appended to 93248?

93248 is already the professional-only interpretation and report code, rather than a global code requiring a professional-component modifier.

What documentation supports reporting 93248?

Documentation should establish the monitoring period and include the physician’s review, interpretation, and report of the recorded ECG data.

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.
