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.

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.

93750 billing questions

Does 93750 describe VAD implantation?

No. It reports in-person interrogation and analysis of an existing ventricular assist device; implantation is a separate surgical service.

What documentation supports an interrogation?

Record the VAD assessed, the device information reviewed, relevant findings such as alarms or battery status, and the clinician’s analysis.

Can connection and data capture be billed separately?

No. Connection, recording, and disconnection are included in the interrogation service.

How should units be reported when the device is checked more than once?

The service is reported per day. The code descriptor supports one daily service, not a separate unit for each connection or recording.

Is 93750 the same as setting up a defibrillator?

No. Code 93745 concerns setup of a cardioverter-defibrillator; 93750 concerns in-person interrogation of a ventricular assist device.

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.
