CardioMEMS is a remote monitoring system. It collects information about a patient's pulmonary artery pressure each day at home. The information is then securely transmitted to the patient's cardiologist, where it's reviewed regularly. I examine the data to look for signs that my patient's symptoms may be worsening.
According to the CY2020 Physician Final Rule, CPT‡ code 93264 is reserved for physician reporting of CardioMEMS remote monitoring which includes the professional and technical components in the payment rate.
All local Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) implicitly cover CardioMEMS implant and remote monitoring procedures based on “reasonable and necessary” guidelines.
Leadless cardiac devices including the CardioMicroelectromechanical (CardioMEMS) device, implantable loop recorder, and right ventricular (RV) leadless pacemaker are important tools in the treatment and management of patients with common cardiac conditions including heart failure, cardiac syncope, and arrhythmias.
HCPCS code C2624 for Implantable wireless pulmonary artery pressure sensor with delivery catheter, including all system components as maintained by CMS falls under Assorted Cardiovascular and Genitourinary Devices .
Your cardiologist or electrophysiologist will insert a catheter into your femoral vein. Using an X-rays as a guide, the catheter is threaded through your vein to your heart and into your pulmonary artery. When the catheter is placed, the CardioMEMS device – the sensor – is released into your artery.
CPT codes 93264, 93297 and 93298 may be billed once per 30 days.

The CardioMEMS HF System consists of a small sensor (size of a paper clip) that is placed directly in the pulmonary artery as well as a home monitoring unit that you can use to take daily measurements.
A Reveal device is designed to monitor and record an ECG when the electrical system in your heart fails to work normally and your heart beats too slowly, too fast. You can also tell it if you feel palpitations or other symptoms by using the patient activator.
How The CardioMEMS HF System WorksSensor is inserted using a common procedure.You simply take a daily measurement of the sensor from the comfort of your home.Your healthcare provider reviews your information and contacts you when necessary.
