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.

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.
