Billing code 93701: Bioimpedance analysisMedicare rate & RVUs in Florida
Reports a technical bioimpedance study used to assess cardiovascular function, including impedance-derived estimates such as cardiac output.
Medicare pays $26.05–$28.66 for 93701 in the office in Florida, from Rest Of Florida to Miami. Which amount applies depends on the service address.
Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93701 covers
This noninvasive study uses electrical impedance measurements, typically through electrodes placed on the chest, to assess cardiovascular function and derive hemodynamic measurements such as cardiac output. It may be performed in an outpatient cardiology or other clinical setting when a clinician is evaluating cardiovascular status, including in patients with heart failure or unexplained symptoms. The service is performed by trained clinical staff using bioimpedance equipment; the physician or other qualified professional interprets the findings separately.
Report 93701 for the cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis when the service does not include the additional intracellular and extracellular fluid determination associated with 93702. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for the study, the measurements obtained, and the resulting data available for interpretation. CMS classifies 93701 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to this code’s technical component.

How to choose
- 93702Bioimpedance test
- 93701 reports cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis; 93702 is the related code when the study also determines intracellular and extracellular fluid.
- 93770Determination venous press
- 93701 derives cardiovascular measurements through bioimpedance. 93770 is for determining venous pressure, a different measurement method and service.
93701 billing questions
How do I choose between 93701 and 93702?
Use 93701 for the cardiovascular bioimpedance analysis. Choose 93702 when the study also includes determination of intracellular and extracellular fluid.
Does 93701 include the physician’s interpretation?
No. CMS identifies 93701 as technical-component-only; report the interpretation separately under the applicable code when performed and documented.
What documentation supports 93701?
Document the clinical indication, that a bioimpedance cardiovascular study was performed, and the measurements or results generated for interpretation.
Can the technical component be reduced when other cardiovascular tests are performed?
Yes. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed.
Should I append a technical-component modifier?
93701 is designated as a technical-component-only code by CMS. The interpretation is represented separately rather than by treating 93701 as a global service.
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.
