What 93798 covers

Code 93798 represents one outpatient cardiac rehabilitation session with exercise and related rehabilitation services under physician or other qualified health care professional oversight, with continuous ECG monitoring. Sessions commonly follow a cardiac event or intervention, such as myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, or coronary angioplasty, and may include supervised conditioning, risk-factor education, and progress review. Report it in an outpatient setting when continuous rhythm surveillance is part of the session.

Report one unit for each session; continuous ECG monitoring distinguishes this service from 93797. Documentation should identify the session, monitoring performed, rehabilitation activities, and clinical oversight. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included, and modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery 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.

93798 billing questions

When should 93798 be reported instead of 93797?

Report 93798 when the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation session includes continuous ECG monitoring. Report 93797 for a session furnished without continuous ECG monitoring.

Is ECG monitoring separately reported for the session?

Continuous ECG monitoring is part of the service represented by 93798. The session is reported as one unit rather than separately reporting its monitoring component.

How many units are reported?

Report one unit for each cardiac rehabilitation session. Documentation should support the session and the continuous ECG monitoring performed.

Can modifier 50 be used?

No. CMS indicates that bilateral adjustment does not apply to 93798, making modifier 50 inappropriate.

What does the 0-day global period include?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the service under the CMS 0-day global period.

What documentation supports reporting 93798?

Document the outpatient rehabilitation session, continuous ECG monitoring, activities provided, and physician or qualified health care professional oversight.

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.
