Coding Guidance for Peri-Procedural Device Management
Procedures involving implantable cardiac device management before and after surgery may be eligible for reimbursement under existing CPT codes.
| CPT Code | Description | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 93286 | Peri-procedural device evaluation (in person) and programming of device system parameters before and after surgery, procedure, or test with analysis, review, and report by a physician or other qualified health care professional; implantable defibrillator system | Used when Cardiaguard is applied to protect ICD patients during procedures with EMI exposure risk (e.g., electrocautery during surgery, MRI, radiation therapy). Device evaluation confirms proper function before and after the procedure. |
| 93287 | Peri-procedural device evaluation (in person) and programming of device system parameters before and after surgery, procedure, or test with analysis, review, and report by a physician or other qualified health care professional; single, dual, or multiple lead pacemaker system | Used when Cardiaguard is applied to protect pacemaker patients during procedures with EMI exposure risk. Ensures device settings are appropriate for the procedure and verifies normal operation afterward. |
