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

What 93609 covers

During an invasive electrophysiology study, the physician uses intracardiac catheter recordings and pacing information to map a tachycardia site within a ventricle. The mapping helps localize the area involved in the abnormal rhythm, commonly while evaluating or treating ventricular tachycardia. An electrophysiologist typically performs the service in a hospital electrophysiology laboratory alongside the primary diagnostic or ablation procedure. This code describes ventricular tachycardia-site mapping, rather than three-dimensional reconstruction of cardiac anatomy.

This is an add-on code and is reported only with an eligible primary procedure; Medicare treats it as paid within that procedure’s global period. Its physician fee schedule status is carrier priced (status C): CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for the claim. The service has professional and technical components. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the technical component, including equipment and staff, and no modifier represents 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.
