About 93226: Short-term Holter data scanning
Report this technical service for scanning and analysis of continuous ambulatory ECG data recorded for less than 48 hours, with a prepared report.
This service covers the technical analysis of continuous ambulatory ECG data from a short-term monitor, including scanning the recording and preparing an analysis report. Cardiac monitoring staff or other qualified technical personnel commonly perform the work in a cardiology practice or diagnostic testing facility. The data may be reviewed for rhythm events such as pauses or suspected arrhythmias; this code covers the scan and report, not the physician’s separate interpretation.
Select this code for the scanning-and-report portion when the continuous recording lasts less than 48 hours. Keep documentation of the recording period, analysis performed, and resulting report. Code 93225 represents recording, while 93227 represents physician review and interpretation; 93224 combines the service components. This is a technical-component-only code, and CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to its technical component when applicable.
