90 day PM or ICD remote monitoring
Date: Jan 7, 2020
Question:
The rep is performing the interrogation, sending the information the provider, and the provider holds the claim until the 91st day. These codes are per 90 days, so can the patient have the remote services performed prior to the 90 days, and is it appropriate to hold them until the 91st day to bill? This would seem to be a stretch of the rules for these codes. Please provide clarification on remote coding and the correct dates for both the 93295 and 96.
