2025 CPT code 93282
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Medicine - Cardiovascular Procedures Feed
Programming device evaluation (in person) with iterative adjustment of the implantable device to test the function of the device and select optimal permanent programmed values with analysis, review, and report by a physician or other qualified health care professional; single lead transvenous implantable defibrillator system.
Modifiers may be applicable in certain circumstances. Refer to current CPT guidelines for appropriate modifier usage.
Medical necessity is established by documentation of the patient's condition and the need for device evaluation and programming to manage their cardiac rhythm.
The physician connects the patient to an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, establishes communication with the implanted defibrillator, reviews stored data, adjusts device settings, and analyzes the device's response to ensure proper function.
In simple words: The doctor evaluates and adjusts the settings of your implanted defibrillator to make sure it's working properly and keeping your heart beating safely. This is done during an office visit.
This code describes an in-person evaluation and programming of a single lead transvenous implantable defibrillator system. The physician or other qualified healthcare professional analyzes data from the device, adjusts programmable parameters, and tests the device's function to optimize its performance. This iterative process ensures the device is programmed effectively for the patient's specific needs.
Example 1: A patient with a single lead transvenous implantable defibrillator experiences an episode of irregular heartbeat. The device is interrogated, and adjustments are made to optimize its therapy., A patient with a recent single lead transvenous implantable defibrillator implant requires a follow-up device evaluation and programming to adjust settings based on their recovery and individual needs., A patient undergoing a surgical procedure requires pre-operative programming of their single lead transvenous implantable defibrillator. The physician performs a peri-procedural device evaluation and programming.
Documentation should include the type of device, the reason for the programming, the settings adjusted, the patient's response to the changes, and any complications encountered.
