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.

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.

93701 billing questions

How do I choose between 93701 and 93702?

Use 93701 for the cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis. Choose 93702 when the study also includes determination of intracellular and extracellular fluid.

Does 93701 include the physician’s interpretation?

No. CMS identifies 93701 as technical-component-only; report the interpretation separately under the applicable code when performed and documented.

What documentation supports 93701?

Document the clinical indication, that a bioimpedance cardiovascular study was performed, and the measurements or results generated for interpretation.

Can the technical component be reduced when other cardiovascular tests are performed?

Yes. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed.

Should I append a technical-component modifier?

93701 is designated as a technical-component-only code by CMS. The interpretation is represented separately rather than by treating 93701 as a global 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.
