Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93298 covers

This service evaluates data transmitted from an implanted subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor, often called an insertable loop recorder. The device stores automatically detected or patient-activated ECG episodes for remote review. Device clinic staff handle transmissions and alerts, while a cardiologist, electrophysiologist, or other qualified clinician interprets the rhythm findings and reports them. Monitoring may help evaluate unexplained syncope, recurrent palpitations, or atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke.

Report one unit for a monitoring period of up to 30 days, not for each transmission or alert; do not report it more than once per 30 days. The record should identify the monitoring dates, data reviewed, rhythm findings, and interpretation. CMS prices the service as a diagnostic test with professional and technical components. Append modifier 26 when billing only the interpretation and report, or modifier TC when billing only the transmission, equipment, and staff portion. Bill without either modifier when one entity furnishes both portions. In-person interrogation of the same monitor is not reported during the same remote monitoring period; an in-person programming evaluation is a distinct service when performed and documented.
