What 93297 covers
This service evaluates data transmitted from an implantable cardiovascular physiologic monitor. Sensors, sometimes incorporated into a cardiac device, may track thoracic impedance as an indicator of fluid accumulation, heart rate variability, activity, or other heart failure trends. A home transmitter sends stored readings and alerts for review. A cardiologist, electrophysiologist, heart failure specialist, or other qualified practitioner analyzes the data and reports the findings, often through a device clinic following patients with heart failure.
Report one unit for a remote evaluation period of up to 30 days, rather than for each transmission. Documentation should identify the period, physiologic data reviewed, interpretation, and any resulting clinical action, such as a diuretic adjustment. This evaluation does not include device reprogramming. CMS prices 93297 as a diagnostic test with professional and technical components. Modifier 26 identifies the practitioner's interpretation and report; modifier TC identifies the equipment, transmission, and staff portion. When one entity provides both portions, report 93297 without either modifier as the global service.
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.

93297 billing questions
How often can this code be reported?
Report one unit for an evaluated remote monitoring interval of up to 30 days. Multiple transmissions within that interval do not create additional units.
When should modifier 26 or TC be appended?
Use modifier 26 for the interpretation and report alone, or TC for the equipment and staff portion alone. Report 93297 without either modifier when the billing entity provides both portions.
Does this code cover remote interrogation of the pacemaker or defibrillator itself?
No. 93297 addresses physiologic monitoring data. Codes 93294 and 93295 describe professional remote evaluations of pacemaker and defibrillator function, respectively; 93296 describes the associated technical service.
How is this different from an in-person physiologic monitor check?
Use 93290 when the physiologic monitor is interrogated with the patient present. Use 93297 for remotely transmitted data evaluated over an interval of up to 30 days.
What documentation supports the claim?
Document the monitoring interval and physiologic parameters reviewed, along with the practitioner's interpretation and report. Record any management change if one was made.
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.
