CPT code 93288 captures a bundled service in which a clinician conducts a face-to-face evaluation and then optimally adjusts the programming parameters of an implanted single, dual, multiple lead, or leadless pacemaker system, reviews the post-adjustment results, and prepares a formal report. This combined professional and technical service is central to ongoing device management and can impact patient safety, device performance, and downstream utilization of cardiac services. Nationally, accurate coding for device reprogramming supports appropriate reimbursement, continuity of care, and quality measurement for cardiac electrophysiology services.
