The general procedure in the use of a Holter monitor involves carrying a monitor (weight- ~190 g; dimensions – 70 x 95 x 20 mm) that is equipped with a flashcard to record data from 2 to 3 electrode adhesive patches connected to the monitor by lead wires.
WEM are generally classified by the following:
You might have symptoms such as:
1. CPT codes for Holter monitoring services (CPT codes 93224-93227) are intended for up to 48 hours of continuous recording. The documentation in the progress notes must reflect medical necessity for the service. These services may be reported globally with CPT codes 93224.
93228CPT code 93228 is the professional component of this service and includes review and interpretation of each 24-hour cardiac surveillance as well as 24-hour availability and response to monitoring events within a course of treatment that includes up to 30 consecutive days of cardiac monitoring.
93227 physician review and interpretation. Occasionally, the cardiologist may want the patient to wear the Holter monitor for 48 or even 72 hours.
These services may be reported globally with CPT codes 93224. Use the date of physician review as the date of service (DOS). c. When submitting claims for the recording only (CPT code 93225) or for the analysis with report only (CPT code 93226) use the date the service was performed as the DOS.
What is a Holter monitor? The Holter monitor is a type of portable electrocardiogram (ECG). It records the electrical activity of the heart continuously over 24 hours or longer while you are away from the doctor's office. A standard or "resting" ECG is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart.
Dynamic Electrocardiogram (Holter Monitoring) Documentation of medical necessity is required for monitoring longer than 24 hours. The recording device itself is not covered as durable medical equipment (DME) separate from the total diagnostic service.
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 93306, is a noninvasive study that uses ultrasound to visualize the heart's function, blood flow, valves, and chambers.
CPT® Code 93247 in section: External electrocardiographic recording for more than 7 days up to 15 days by continuous rhythm recording and storage.
CPT® Code 0298T - Atherectomy (Open or Percutaneous) for Supra-Inguinal Arteries and Other Undefined Category Codes - Codify by AAPC.
When the equipment is owned by the hospital, it should charge codes 93225 (24-hour EKG monitoring, includes hook-up, recording and disconnection) and 93226 (scanning analysis with report).
The complete testing codes 93000, 93015, 93040 and 93224 may be billed by the same or different providers using the complete test code or respective component test codes, but each set is reimbursable only once per recipient, per day, any provider, per occurrence.
CPT® Code 93226 in section: External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; includes recording, scanning analysis with report, review and interpretation by a physician or other qualified health care professional.
