What 93291 covers

This service evaluates an implanted subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor, often called an implantable loop recorder, during an in-person device check. Device clinic staff retrieve stored information, and a physician or other qualified practitioner reviews and interprets recorded events and reports the findings. These monitors may be used to investigate intermittent symptoms such as syncope or palpitations when rhythm information is needed over time.

Report 93291 for the in-person interrogation and analysis of the subcutaneous monitor, not simply for changing its programmed settings. The record should identify the device and support the in-person evaluation, data review, interpretation, and report. Billing without a modifier represents the global service; modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the CMS 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.

93291 billing questions

How is 93291 different from 93285?

93291 represents in-person interrogation and analysis of a subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor. 93285 is for its in-person programming evaluation, such as device-setting adjustments.

When should 93298 be considered instead?

93298 is the remote interrogation code for a subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor. Use 93291 for the in-person interrogation.

Which modifiers identify the professional and technical services?

Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Billing without a modifier represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?

The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component of 93291.

What documentation supports reporting 93291?

Document the implanted subcutaneous monitor, the in-person interrogation, the recorded data reviewed and analyzed, and the resulting findings or 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.
