About 93271: Patient-activated ECG scanning analysis
Reports technician scanning analysis of patient-activated external ECG recordings, such as event-monitor transmissions collected during an ambulatory monitoring period.
This code covers technical scanning and analysis of ECG recordings from external patient- or caregiver-activated monitoring, generally collected over a monitoring period of up to 30 days. A monitoring-center technician or other qualified technical staff reviews transmitted tracings for rhythm events and prepares an analysis report. Typical referrals involve intermittent symptoms such as palpitations or episodic dizziness that may not appear on a brief office ECG.
Report the code for the scanning analysis and report, not for attaching or removing the recorder or for a physician’s interpretation. Documentation should support the monitoring period, analyzed recordings or transmissions, and the resulting technical report. A separate code covers physician review and interpretation. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are billed, Medicare’s cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to this code’s technical component.
