What 93797 covers

This code represents an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation session without ECG monitoring. A physician or other qualified health care professional directs the service, which may include exercise-based recovery, risk-factor education, and counseling. Patients may be referred for rehabilitation after events or procedures such as myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass surgery, or coronary intervention. The service is furnished in an outpatient rehabilitation program or another appropriate outpatient setting.

Report one unit for each session, selecting this code when the session is performed without ECG monitoring; use the monitoring distinction to separate it from 93798. Documentation should support the session provided and whether ECG monitoring was used. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

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.
