What 93290 covers

This service is an in-person check of an implantable cardiovascular physiologic monitor, such as a system that records hemodynamic information used to manage heart failure. The clinician or device clinic team obtains the stored data for review; a qualified professional analyzes the findings and documents a report. It is distinct from checking a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, or subcutaneous rhythm monitor, which are different device types.

Report the service for an in-person evaluation of the physiologic monitor, supported by documentation identifying the device, the data reviewed, the analysis, and the resulting report. It is a diagnostic test with separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple procedure reduction applies to this code’s 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.

93290 billing questions

How is this different from remote physiologic monitor interrogation?

93290 is for the in-person interrogation and data review. Remote interrogation of the same type of monitor is reported with 93297.

Which modifiers identify the professional and technical services?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service involving equipment and staff. Report 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. CMS does not extend that reduction to the professional component.

What documentation supports reporting 93290?

Document that the evaluation was in person, identify the implantable cardiovascular physiologic monitor, and record the data reviewed, the analysis, and the report.

Is this the code for a pacemaker or loop recorder check?

No. 93290 is for an implantable cardiovascular physiologic monitor. Pacemakers and subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitors have separate interrogation codes.

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.
