Set-Up Of A Patient-Activated Heart Rhythm Recorder

Washington rates for HCPCS 0497T

A small external recorder is issued and hooked up during an office visit so the patient can capture a tracing of their own heart rhythm whenever symptoms strike. This part covers fitting the device and teaching the patient how to trigger, wear and care for it; reading the recordings afterwards is a separate service. Nobody is watching the rhythm as it happens.
