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.
