What 93612 covers

An electrophysiologist delivers controlled electrical stimuli through an electrode catheter positioned in a heart ventricle during an invasive cardiac electrophysiology study. The pacing evaluates electrical conduction and the heart’s response to stimulation. This is intracardiac pacing performed as part of electrophysiologic testing, rather than pacing from an implanted device.

Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status C (carrier priced), so the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim and CMS publishes no national payment amount. The service has a 0-day global period, with same-day preoperative and postoperative care included. As a diagnostic test, it may be reported globally or split into professional interpretation with modifier 26 and technical service with modifier TC. Modifier-free reporting 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.

How the 93612 rate is calculated

Each of 93612’s three RVUs is multiplied by a geographic index (GPCI) for the payment locality, added up, and multiplied by the conversion factor. Drag the indexes or enter a ZIP to see what moves the rate.

How to choose

93610Intracardiac pacingAtrial chamber
Use 93610 for pacing in an atrium; use 93612 for pacing in a ventricle.
93603Ventricular recordingRight ventricle
93603 reports right ventricular electrical recording. 93612 reports delivery of pacing stimuli within a ventricle.
93618Arrhythmia inductionElectrical pacing
93618 identifies electrical pacing to induce an arrhythmia; 93612 identifies intraventricular pacing.
93619EP evaluationWithout arrhythmia induction
93619 describes a comprehensive electrophysiology evaluation. 93612 identifies a specific ventricular pacing service, rather than the comprehensive evaluation.

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.
