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.
