About 93260: In-person subcutaneous ICD programming evaluation
Report this service for an in-person evaluation and programming of a subcutaneous implantable defibrillator, including review of device information and settings.
This service covers an in-person programming evaluation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD). A cardiologist or electrophysiology clinician assesses the system, reviews available device information, and adjusts programmable settings when indicated. It is distinct from remote monitoring and from programming evaluations for ICD systems with transvenous leads. The service is typically performed in a cardiology or electrophysiology clinic, with device equipment and staff supporting the evaluation.
Choose 93260 for an S-ICD programming evaluation; use the interrogation service when the encounter involves device review without programming. Documentation should identify the S-ICD, record the evaluation and any programming changes, and support the clinician’s interpretation and report. The service has separately payable professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff, or neither modifier for the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

93260 billing questions
How does 93260 differ from 93261?
93260 is for an in-person programming evaluation of a subcutaneous ICD. Use 93261 for interrogation of that system when the service is review without programming.
Which modifiers identify the components?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect the whole service?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS facts for this code.
What documentation supports 93260?
Document that the device is a subcutaneous ICD, the in-person evaluation performed, the settings reviewed or changed, and the interpretation and report.
Can 93260 be used for a transvenous ICD?
No. The 93260 service is for a subcutaneous ICD; programming evaluations for transvenous ICD systems are selected according to the system configuration.
