What 93784 covers
This service uses a portable monitor to collect blood pressure readings during a patient's usual daily activities, typically over a 24-hour period or longer. Clinicians use ambulatory monitoring to evaluate suspected white-coat or masked hypertension, variable readings, and blood pressure control that is unclear from office measurements. Trained staff typically fit and remove the monitor in an outpatient setting; a physician or qualified health professional reviews and interprets the results.
Report 93784 when the complete monitoring service is performed, rather than only recording, analysis, or interpretation. Documentation should support the clinical reason for monitoring, device use and recording period, findings, and interpretation. CMS identifies this as a global-test-only code; separate codes describe its technical and professional components when those services are reported separately. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component when applicable.

93784 billing questions
When should 93784 be reported instead of 93786, 93788, or 93790?
Use 93784 for the complete ambulatory monitoring service. The other codes describe individual recording, analysis, or professional interpretation services when the work is split.
What does the complete service include?
It covers ambulatory blood pressure recording with software-based analysis and interpretation. The record should support the monitoring period, results, and clinical interpretation.
Can the technical and professional work be reported separately?
Yes. CMS identifies 93784 as a global-test-only code, with separate codes for its technical and professional components. Do not report the complete service in addition to component codes for the same work.
How does the multiple procedure reduction affect 93784?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not describe a reduction to the professional component.
What documentation supports ambulatory monitoring?
Document the reason for testing, monitor placement and recording period, blood pressure findings, and the interpretation. The record should show that monitoring occurred outside the clinic rather than a series of office measurements.
