What 93294 covers
This service covers a physician's or other qualified health care professional's interpretation of data transmitted from an implanted pacemaker, including single-, dual-, or multiple-lead systems and leadless pacemakers. A cardiologist or electrophysiologist may review transmissions handled by a practice or device clinic. The review assesses battery status, pacing and sensing, stored rhythm episodes, and lead or electrode information when those data are available. It results in clinical findings and a report, rather than a programming adjustment.
Report one unit for a 90-day remote monitoring period when at least 30 days of monitoring have occurred; additional transmissions within that period do not create additional units. The record should identify the device, transmission dates, findings, and the clinician's analysis and report. CMS prices 93294 as the professional interpretation and report, so modifier 26 is not appended. Code 93296 covers the separately reported technical work, including transmission handling and technical support. An in-person interrogation or transtelephonic check should not be billed again for the same work captured in the remote review.

93294 billing questions
How many units are reported for multiple transmissions?
Report one unit for the 90-day period after at least 30 days of monitoring. Multiple transmissions reviewed during that period do not each generate a unit of 93294.
Does 93294 need modifier 26?
No. CMS treats 93294 as the professional interpretation and report; 93296 covers the separately reported technical service.
Should 93294 or 93295 be used?
Use 93294 for remote interrogation review of a pacemaker or leadless pacemaker. Use 93295 for the professional review of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, including a CRT-D.
Is an in-office pacemaker interrogation also reported?
Code 93288 describes an in-person interrogation. Do not report it merely for reviewing the transmissions or duplicate the work reported with 93294.
What documentation supports 93294?
Document the pacemaker type, monitoring period, transmissions reviewed, available device measurements and stored events, and the clinician's analysis and report.
Who reports the technical service?
The entity furnishing the technical transmission and monitoring work reports 93296. It may be a different entity from the clinician reporting 93294.
