Checking of loop implanted loop recorder

Date: Aug 28, 2018

Question:

Patient comes in for check of implanted loop recorder. The nurse checks device, and if there are any recorded events she prints them out and gives them to the cardiologist. Is this reported with code 93291? If there are no events, so nothing is printed out, should we submit code 93285 instead (and only submit 93291 if we do print out events for the cardiologist)?
