CPT & ICD-10 Code Guides

Rates for Extended Wear Holter (EWH) increased in 2021. The changes to the codes were made in recognition of the associated time and work to monitor, detect and analyze cardiac results over longer periods, which have been shown to increase detection rates.

CPT & ICD-10 Code FAQ

When did the new Holter codes and categories come into play?

The 1st of January 2021.

Can non-physician providers supervise diagnostic testing?

Yes. CNM, CNS, NP, and PA would be able to prescribe and bill for services including MCT and EWH.

Will all payors cover the new services?

Event Monitoring & Mobile Cardiac Telemetry is fully covered by Medicare. Federal and Private insurance plans also cover Event Monitoring, though MCT may require prior authorization.

Will the same increases be seen by clinics billing the CMS Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) instead of Physician Fee Schedule (PFS)?

The OPPS system is designed to cover the administration labor costs of these tests by in-facility staff, and do not pay for the test itself. OPPS-equivalents to the PFS codes are also proposed for 2021, which do not have substantial differences in payments between 1-2 day and the EWH services.
