Summary

The technician gathers data, for a period of up to 90 days, from a patient’s single, dual, multiple lead, or leadless pacemaker system or implantable defibrillator system by remotely accessing the device, retrieving information, and conducting a technical review. He then distributes the results to the patient's physicians, providing technical support as necessary. This code represents the technical component of the service only.
