About 93229: Thirty-day mobile cardiac telemetry technical service
Reports the technical support for a 30-day remote mobile cardiac telemetry service, including setup, patient instruction, and ECG data handling.
This code represents the technical work for a 30-day mobile cardiac telemetry service ordered to evaluate suspected intermittent arrhythmias, such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting. Monitoring staff support device setup and patient instruction, receive transmitted ECG data, and analyze it for events that may require notification to the treating clinician. Cardiology practices commonly arrange the service for patients monitoring at home; the clinician’s review and interpretation are reported separately.
Report the technical service for the 30-day monitoring episode, not separately for each transmission or detected event. Documentation should support the monitoring period and the technical services furnished, including setup, instruction, data receipt and analysis, and any relevant event communications. Code 93228 represents the separate professional review and interpretation. CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are billed; that reduction can affect payment for this service.
