Wiki Please help clarify holter codes

[pedscardio1]

Can someone please assist me with these holter codes? 93224, 93225 and 93227. We do not own the holters, we do the hook ups in the office, another company does the downloads and my provider does the interpretations. Previoulsy we did own our own holters and would bill just the 93224, since we no longer own these new holters, is it correct to bill 93225 for the hook up and then 93227 for the interpretation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

the company that supplies the analysis (reading/recording) report from the equipment to your physician will bill 93226. I Have heard some vendors have charged the physicians and ask the physician to bill global; be aware that this code pays around an average of $30 via CMS fee screen contingent on region.

Your staff puts the electrodes, sets up the recorder and instructs the patient, removes the equipment 2 days later or sooner 93225, and the physician after getting the analysis report does the interpretation 93227
