Cardiac rehabilitation
About 93798: Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation with ECG
Reports an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation session with continuous ECG monitoring, typically during supervised exercise and education after a qualifying cardiac event or intervention.
Code 93798 represents one outpatient cardiac rehabilitation session with exercise and related rehabilitation services under physician or other qualified health care professional oversight, with continuous ECG monitoring. Sessions commonly follow a cardiac event or intervention, such as myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, or coronary angioplasty, and may include supervised conditioning, risk-factor education, and progress review. Report it in an outpatient setting when continuous rhythm surveillance is part of the session.
Report one unit for each session; continuous ECG monitoring distinguishes this service from 93797. Documentation should identify the session, monitoring performed, rehabilitation activities, and clinical oversight. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included, and modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
