About 93283: Dual-lead ICD programming evaluation

Reports an in-person programming evaluation of a dual-lead implantable defibrillator, including review of device function and programming parameters.

This service is an in-person evaluation of a dual-lead implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The clinician reviews device and lead function, battery status, stored rhythm events and delivered therapies, and programming parameters; programming may be adjusted as clinically indicated. Cardiologists, electrophysiologists, or other qualified clinicians commonly provide the service in a device clinic or hospital outpatient setting, with device staff supporting the evaluation as appropriate.

Select this code for a dual-lead ICD system; the system’s lead configuration distinguishes it from single- and multiple-lead ICD evaluations. The record should support the device and lead assessment, findings reviewed, and programming work performed. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

CMS billing rules for 93283

Professional and technical components
Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.
Multiple procedures

93283 billing questions

How does this differ from 93282 or 93284?

Choose 93283 for a dual-lead ICD system. The related codes represent single-lead and multiple-lead ICD programming evaluations, respectively.

Does the clinician have to change a setting?

A programming change is not necessarily required when the evaluation supports the reported service. Document the review and any programming performed, including when settings remain unchanged.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical portion involving equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both portions?

The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule provided for this code.

When would 93289 be a better fit?

Use 93289 for an in-person ICD interrogation evaluation when programming is not part of the service. Use 93283 when the dual-lead system receives a programming evaluation.

Is a remote device transmission reported with this code?

No. This code describes an in-person programming evaluation; remote ICD interrogation is represented by a different service, such as 93295.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
