About 93050: Central arterial pressure waveform analysis
Reports noninvasive analysis of arterial pressure waveforms to assess central blood pressure and related waveform measures, with interpretation and a report.
This noninvasive cardiovascular test analyzes an arterial pressure waveform to assess central arterial pressure and related measures such as augmentation index. It is commonly performed in an outpatient cardiology or vascular medicine setting using dedicated waveform equipment; the interpreting clinician reviews the results and documents a report. It evaluates pressure-wave characteristics rather than the heart’s electrical activity recorded by an ECG.
Report 93050 for the waveform analysis and its interpretation, supported by documentation of the test and the clinician’s findings. A claim without a component modifier represents the global service. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
CMS billing rules for 93050
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.
- Multiple procedures
- Cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
- Bilateral procedures
- The code is already priced as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

How this local rate is calculated
Each RVU component is multiplied by its own geographic practice cost index (GPCI). The three adjusted components are added, then multiplied by the conversion factor. These are the inputs used for 93050 in Tennessee.

93050 billing questions
How is 93050 different from an ECG?
93050 analyzes arterial pressure waveforms to assess central pressure and related measures. ECG codes report electrical activity of the heart.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the interpretation and report, or modifier TC for the equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does modifier 50 increase payment for 93050?
No. CMS prices 93050 as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Which portion is subject to the cardiovascular multiple-procedure reduction?
The reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule supplied for this code.
What documentation supports reporting 93050?
Document the arterial pressure waveform analysis performed and the interpreting clinician’s findings and report. The record should support whether the claim represents the global service or a separately billed professional or technical component.
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.
