What 93790 covers

This service covers a physician’s review of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data, interpretation of the recorded readings, and preparation of a report. The monitoring device collects readings over an extended period during the patient’s usual activities and sleep. A clinician may use the results when evaluating suspected white-coat or masked hypertension, or assessing blood pressure patterns outside the office. The physician interprets the recorded information; device setup and data capture are technical work.

Report 93790 for the professional review and interpretation, supported by the monitoring results and a dated report documenting the findings. CMS classifies this as a professional-component-only code, so the technical portion is reported separately under the applicable technical service code. The code represents the interpretation and report, not the complete device-based monitoring service. The clinical record should make clear that the physician reviewed and interpreted the ambulatory readings rather than merely receiving or processing the data.

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.

93790 billing questions

How does 93790 differ from 93784?

93790 represents physician review, interpretation, and reporting. 93784 represents the complete ambulatory monitoring service, including technical work as well as interpretation and reporting.

Is the technical service reported separately?

Yes. CMS identifies 93790 as professional-component-only; the technical portion is reported under a separate code when furnished.

Should modifier 26 be appended?

No. 93790 already represents the professional interpretation and report rather than a global service requiring professional-component identification.

Does 93790 cover device recording or data scanning?

No. It covers physician review, interpretation, and the report. Recording and technical data processing are represented by separate technical services.

What documentation supports reporting 93790?

Keep the ambulatory readings and a physician report documenting review, interpretation, and findings. The record should distinguish interpretation from device setup or data processing.

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.
