CPT 93282: Single-Lead ICD Parameter Evaluation and Adjustment
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. Readers will find a concise overview of clinical intent and typical care settings for the service, along with coverage and benchmarking context where available. The publication highlights commonly reported payer policies, typical sites of service, and how the code is used in clinical workflows for cardiac device management. Data not provided in the input are noted as unavailable. The content is designed to inform billing staff, clinicians, and policy analysts about the clinical scope of CPT code 93282, its role in outpatient device management, and where to look for payer-specific policy details or reimbursement guidance.
