What 93289 covers

This service evaluates an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator in person, including a system that provides cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation. The device is connected to interrogation equipment to review programmed parameters, battery status, lead function, and stored therapy information. A cardiologist, electrophysiologist, or other qualified health care professional interprets the findings and prepares a report. It is commonly performed during an office or facility visit for device follow-up or assessment of recorded events.

Report 93289 for the in-person diagnostic interrogation and interpretation, rather than for remote monitoring or device programming. Documentation should identify the defibrillator evaluated and support the analysis and report, including relevant device findings. CMS allows billing the professional interpretation with modifier 26, the equipment-and-staff service with modifier TC, or the global service without a component modifier. When a cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies, it affects the technical component; it does not reduce the professional component under this rule.

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.

93289 billing questions

When should 93289 be used instead of 93288?

Use 93289 for in-person interrogation of an implanted defibrillator, including a CRT-D. Code 93288 is for interrogation of a pacemaker system.

Does 93289 include device programming?

It reports interrogation and analysis, not a programming service. If the clinician changes device settings, the applicable programming code depends on the defibrillator system.

Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 93289?

The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. CMS does not reduce the professional component.

Is 93289 reported per lead or per stored event?

No. Report it for the patient encounter, not separately for each lead or stored therapy event reviewed.

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.
