About 93786: Ambulatory blood pressure recording
Reports the technical recording portion of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring when a patient wears a portable cuff and recording device outside the clinic.
Code 93786 covers setting up an ambulatory blood pressure monitor and obtaining the blood pressure recordings while the patient goes about usual activities. A clinician or trained staff member typically fits the cuff and portable recorder in an outpatient setting, then retrieves the device and its recorded data. Monitoring may help evaluate suspected white-coat or masked hypertension or blood pressure outside the clinic.
This is the recording-only technical service, not the scan analysis or physician interpretation. The record should support that the monitor was applied and a recording was obtained. When analysis and interpretation are performed, the corresponding services are reported separately, such as scanning analysis and report with 93788 and physician review and interpretation with 93790. Medicare applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to the technical component when the applicable multiple-procedure circumstances are met.
