Remote Monitoring Check of an Implanted Pacemaker

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 93294

Data from an implanted pacemaker is transmitted electronically to a clinical team, allowing them to review the device's settings, battery status, and how the heart is being paced without requiring an in-person office visit. This remote check covers a period of monitoring over time, rather than a single point-in-time reading. It helps catch problems early between regular in-person visits.
