This code is for downloading and analysis of data collected by the pacemaker. The code is for analyzing up to 90 days of data. What they mean by 30 days is you must evaluate 30-90 days of data to report this code.

I'm only just starting to learn Cardio in the Medicine section so i'm not sure what code to bill for less than 30 days or if you can even bill for the service with another code vs write off the charges as un-billable
