What 93287 covers

Code 93287 describes an in-person evaluation and programming of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in the peri-procedural setting. A cardiologist, electrophysiologist, or qualified device clinician assesses the device and may adjust its settings for the procedure, then restore appropriate settings afterward. The service includes analysis, review, and a report, and applies to single-, dual-, and multiple-lead ICD systems. It is commonly performed when device settings need attention around surgery or another procedure that could affect ICD operation.

Report 93287 for the peri-procedural ICD service, not for routine device checks or programming unrelated to a procedure. Documentation should identify the procedure context, the ICD evaluation performed, any programming changes, and the findings and plan in the report. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the technical equipment and staff, and billing without a modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

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.

93287 billing questions

How is 93287 different from 93289?

93287 is for ICD evaluation and programming in the peri-procedural setting. Use 93289 for an in-person ICD interrogation when the service is not peri-procedural.

How does 93287 differ from 93286?

Both describe peri-procedural device evaluation and programming, but 93287 is for an ICD system and 93286 is for a pacemaker system.

Which modifier identifies the interpretation?

Append modifier 26 for the professional component. Modifier TC identifies the technical component; billing without either modifier represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?

The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component of 93287.

What should the record support?

Document the peri-procedural context, the ICD evaluation and any programming performed, and the resulting device findings and report.

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.
