CPT code 93750: VAD interrogation, in person2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $53.11 for 93750 nationally in the office and $34.07 in a hospital or facility. Local office rates run $48.35–$66.25.

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

What 93750 covers

This service covers an in-person check of a ventricular assist device, commonly an LVAD, with review of its operating information such as flow, power, alarms, and battery status. A physician or other qualified health care professional typically performs or directs the assessment in a VAD clinic, hospital, or outpatient setting. It supports follow-up for patients living with mechanical circulatory support and helps identify device-status concerns that need clinical attention.

Report 93750 for the in-person interrogation and the clinician’s analysis and report, rather than for VAD implantation or a different cardiac monitoring service. The documentation should identify the device, record the parameters reviewed and findings, and include the resulting assessment. Connection, recording, and disconnection are part of the reported interrogation; they are not separate services. The code is reported per day, so documentation should support the service provided on that date.
