What 93282 covers
A physician or other qualified health care professional evaluates a single-lead implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in person, reviews device diagnostics and recorded events, tests device operation, and adjusts programming to establish appropriate settings. This service is commonly performed in a cardiology or electrophysiology office, device clinic, or hospital outpatient setting. It is distinct from checking a pacemaker or evaluating an ICD remotely.
Report this code for an in-person programming evaluation of a single-lead ICD system; lead configuration, rather than the number of settings changed, distinguishes it from the dual- and multiple-lead codes. Documentation should identify the device and lead configuration, describe the evaluation and any adjustments, and record the resulting settings and interpretation. Modifier 26 represents the professional interpretation, while modifier TC represents the technical equipment and staff; without either modifier, the code represents the global service. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

93282 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 93283 and 93284?
Choose by the ICD system's lead configuration: 93282 is for a single-lead system, 93283 for a dual-lead system, and 93284 for a multiple-lead system.
Can this code be used when the ICD is only interrogated?
This code represents an in-person programming evaluation that includes iterative adjustment. For an in-person ICD evaluation without programming, compare the service with 93289.
When should modifier 26 or TC be reported?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical equipment and staff. Report the code without either modifier for the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect both components?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Document the ICD and single-lead configuration, the device evaluation and any programming adjustments, the resulting settings, and the professional interpretation.
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.
