2025 CPT code 93292
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Medicine - Implantable, Insertable, and Wearable Cardiac Device Evaluations Cardiovascular Procedures Feed
In-person interrogation device evaluation of a wearable defibrillator system, including connection, recording, and disconnection.
Modifiers may apply depending on the circumstances of the service.Consult the CPT manual for appropriate modifier usage.
Medical necessity for this procedure is established by the patient's need for ongoing monitoring and management of their cardiac condition using a wearable defibrillator system. Regular interrogation helps ensure the device is functioning properly and delivers appropriate therapy as needed.The frequency of this evaluation will depend on the specific patient and their clinical needs.
The clinical responsibility lies with the physician or other qualified healthcare professional who performs the interrogation and interpretation of the data from the wearable defibrillator system. This includes assessing the device's functionality, program parameters, and making necessary adjustments based on the retrieved information.

In simple words: The doctor checks your wearable defibrillator. They connect to it, look at the data it recorded, and make sure it's working correctly. This includes connecting and disconnecting the device.
This CPT code 93292 represents the technical and professional components of an in-person interrogation device evaluation of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system.The procedure involves a face-to-face assessment by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional.The evaluation includes connecting to the device, recording data, and disconnecting the system.Data reviewed may encompass electrograms, stored episodes, alerts, battery voltage, impedance, pacing information, and histograms (including counters).
Example 1: A patient presents for a routine check-up of their wearable defibrillator. The physician performs a complete interrogation of the device, reviews the stored data, assesses the device's performance, and ensures the programmed parameters are appropriate for the patient's current condition. , A patient experiences an episode of rapid heart rate detected by their wearable defibrillator. The physician performs an interrogation to analyze the event details, review the device's response, and potentially adjust therapy parameters to prevent future occurrences., A patient reports concerns about their wearable defibrillator's functionality. The physician conducts an interrogation to identify the cause of the issue, assess the device's status, and determine if replacement or repair is needed.
** This code is specific to wearable defibrillator systems.It should not be used for implantable devices.
