rhythm derived event recording with presymptom memory loop,
24-hour attended monitoring, per 30 day period of time;
physician review and interpretation, also have work RVUs of
0.52. We urge the AMA RUC to assess the work valuation of
CPT codes 93230 and 93233 in the future in light of the
valuation of the other new similar codes.
The adjusted work RVUs are as follows: 1.05 work RVUs
for CPT code 93283; 0.78 work RVUs for CPT code 93289; and
1.17 work RVUs for CPT code 93295.
5. Mobile Cardiovascular Telemetry and Implantable Loop
Monitoring
The CPT Editorial Panel created two new codes 93228
and 93229 for mobile cardiovascular telemetry and a new
code 93299 related to implantable cardiovascular monitoring
systems or implantable loop recorder systems. The AMA RUC
recommended 0.52 work RVUs for CPT code 93228 and only
direct cost inputs for CPT code 93229 and 93299. These
services were previously billed using unlisted codes, which
were contractor priced. CPT code 93228 represents the
professional aspect of the mobile cardiovascular telemetry
service and CPT code 93229 represents the technical aspect.
We have accepted the AMA RUC recommended work RVUs for CPT
code 93228. However, we will continue to contractor price
CPT codes 93229 and 93299 in order to provide additional
920
