About 93286: Periprocedural pacemaker evaluation and programming
Use this code for in-person evaluation and programming of a pacemaker system in connection with surgery or another procedure.
This service covers an in-person check and programming of a single-, dual-, or multiple-lead pacemaker system in connection with surgery or another procedure. The clinician assesses the device and its settings and makes procedure-related programming changes when needed; the work includes analysis, review, and a report. It is commonly arranged for a patient with a pacemaker undergoing a procedure where device management is needed, such as a surgery involving electrosurgical equipment. A physician or other qualified health care professional supervises the service.
Report 93286 for the periprocedural service, rather than routine pacemaker programming or interrogation alone. Documentation should identify the procedure, the device system, the evaluation, any programming changes, and the resulting report. The code has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
CMS billing rules for 93286
- Professional and technical components

93286 billing questions
Can 93286 be used for routine pacemaker programming?
No. It describes device management in connection with surgery or another procedure. Routine pacemaker programming is represented by codes such as 93279, 93280, or 93281, depending on the system.
How is 93286 different from pacemaker interrogation?
93286 includes periprocedural programming as well as evaluation. Code 93288 describes in-person pacemaker interrogation and evaluation, rather than the periprocedural programming service.
When should modifier 26 or TC be reported?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical portion, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect the whole service?
The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the rule listed for this code.
What documentation supports reporting 93286?
Document the procedure prompting device management, the pacemaker system evaluated, the review and analysis, any programming performed, and the resulting report.
