CPT code 93282 covers in-person evaluation and adjustment of the operating parameters for a previously implanted single-lead transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) designed to regulate rhythm in one cardiac chamber. This procedure is clinically important because appropriate device reprogramming can correct arrhythmias, improve device performance, and reduce adverse events for patients with implanted single-lead ICD systems. Nationally, services for device management form a routine but critical component of cardiac electrophysiology practice and ambulatory device clinics.

Key payers referenced include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.

The publication highlights commonly reported payer policies, typical sites of service, and how the code is used in clinical workflows for cardiac device management.
