About 93293: Transtelephonic pacemaker rhythm evaluation

Reports analysis and interpretation of ECG rhythm strips transmitted by telephone for a patient with a pacemaker.

This service covers analysis and review of ECG rhythm strips sent through telephone-based monitoring for a patient with a pacemaker, followed by a report. A physician or other qualified health care professional typically evaluates the transmitted tracing to assess the recorded rhythm and pacing-related information. The patient may transmit a strip from home, with equipment and staff supporting receipt of the tracing.

Report the service for the transtelephonic rhythm-strip evaluation, not for remote electronic interrogation of the pacemaker’s stored device data. Documentation should identify the patient and pacemaker, the transmitted strip or strips reviewed, the interpretation, and the resulting report. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 represents the interpretation, while modifier TC represents equipment and staff; billing without a modifier represents the global service. The professional and technical components are separately priced when billed with their respective modifiers.

93293 billing questions

How does this differ from code 93294?

Code 93293 covers review of telephone-transmitted ECG rhythm strips. Code 93294 is for remote interrogation of pacemaker device data.

What work is included in this service?

The service includes analysis and review of the transmitted rhythm strip or strips and preparation of the report.

When should modifier 26 or TC be used?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service involving equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Keep the transmitted tracing or its identifying details, the interpretation, and the report. The record should make clear that the service involved telephone-transmitted rhythm strips for a pacemaker patient.

Is this the right code for an in-person pacemaker interrogation?

No. Code 93293 is for telephone-transmitted rhythm-strip evaluation; code 93288 describes in-person pacemaker interrogation.

Where these rates come from
