Cardiac device monitoring
About 93295: Remote ICD interrogation, professional review up to 90 days
A physician or qualified clinician analyzes and reports remotely transmitted implantable defibrillator data for a monitoring period of up to 90 days.
This service covers professional review of data that a patient's implantable cardioverter-defibrillator transmits from home through a bedside or wireless transmitter. A cardiologist, electrophysiologist, or other qualified clinician, such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, reviews device function and stored events. Findings may include battery status, lead impedance and sensing, arrhythmia episodes, shocks, and antitachycardia pacing. The clinician provides an interim analysis and report. Single-, dual-, and multiple-lead defibrillator systems, including cardiac resynchronization defibrillators, use this code.
Report 93295 once for a remote interrogation period of up to 90 days, rather than once per transmission. Documentation should support the device type, review of transmitted findings, and the clinician's analysis and report. CMS classifies 93295 as a professional-component-only code. Code 93296 separately describes remote data acquisition, receipt of transmissions, technician review, technical support, and distribution of results. An entity furnishing both services may report both codes when it meets each code's requirements. Remote pacemaker review uses 93294 instead; other implanted monitor types have separate remote review codes.

93295 billing questions
How often can this code be reported?
Report it once for a remote interrogation period of up to 90 days, not for each transmission or interim report. Document the clinician's review and report for the period billed.
Does this code include the technical service?
No. Code 93295 covers the clinician's analysis and report; 93296 separately covers remote data acquisition and related technical work.
Should 93294 or 93295 be used for a patient with a CRT device?
Code by device type. A cardiac resynchronization defibrillator (CRT-D) uses 93295, while a cardiac resynchronization pacemaker without defibrillation capability (CRT-P) uses 93294.
Is modifier 26 needed?
No. Code 93295 already represents only the professional interpretation and report, so do not append modifier 26.
Do single-, dual-, and multiple-lead ICDs use different remote professional codes?
No. Code 93295 covers remote professional review for all three lead configurations; in-person programming evaluations are distinguished by lead configuration.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
