CPT code 93701: Bioimpedance analysis, cardiovascular assessment2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $27.05 for 93701 nationally in the office. Local office rates run $23.13–$38.71.

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

What 93701 covers

This noninvasive study uses electrical impedance measurements, typically through electrodes placed on the chest, to assess cardiovascular function and derive hemodynamic measurements such as cardiac output. It may be performed in an outpatient cardiology or other clinical setting when a clinician is evaluating cardiovascular status, including in patients with heart failure or unexplained symptoms. The service is performed by trained clinical staff using bioimpedance equipment; the physician or other qualified professional interprets the findings separately.

Report 93701 for the cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis when the service does not include the additional intracellular and extracellular fluid determination associated with 93702. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for the study, the measurements obtained, and the resulting data available for interpretation. CMS classifies 93701 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to this code’s technical component.

How to choose

93702Bioimpedance testExtracellular fluid analysis

93701 reports cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis; 93702 is the related code when the study also determines intracellular and extracellular fluid.

93770Venous pressurePressure determination

93701 derives cardiovascular measurements through bioimpedance. 93770 is for determining venous pressure, a different measurement method and service.

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.
