Question: New Mexico Subscriber Answer: This code was part of the 2009 cardiac device coding revolution that brought numerous new codes. Before 2009, you would have reported the service with nowdeleted code 93741 (Electronic analysis of pacing cardioverter-defibrillator [includes interrogation, evaluation of pulse generator status, evaluation of programmable parameters at rest and during activity where applicable, using electrocardiographic recording and interpretation of recordings at rest and during exercise, analysis of event markers and device response]; single chamber or wearable cardioverter-defibrillator system, without reprogramming). Code 93292 is specific to wearable devices, such as the vest you mention. The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator does the same work as an implantable one, but physicians may choose the vest when an invasive implant isn't right for a patient. The patient wears a sort of vest with sensors that measure heartbeat. The vest also has a small defibrillator to shock the heart when the sensors detect a dangerously irregular heartbeat. According to a 93292 example in CPT Changes 2009, elements reviewed may include, but are not limited to, the following: • presenting electrograms • stored episodes • alerts • battery • leads • capture and sensing function • heart rhythm.
