REPORTING OF CARDIAC REHABILITATION SERVICES
Cardiac rehab services were being reported as CPT 93797 (physician services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation without continuous ECG monitoring) and CPT 93798 (physician services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation with continuing ECG monitoring). CMS proposed to establish two new HCPCs codes to report cardiac rehab services, i.e., GXXX 1 (physician services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation without continuous ECG monitoring per hour) and GXXX 2 (physician services for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation with continuous ECG monitoring per hour).
CMS declined to implement the new codes, but did indicate that cardiac rehabilitation programs could provide more than one session per day so they will allow physician and providers to report more than one unit for a date of service if more than one cardiac rehabilitation session lasting at least one hour each is provided on the same day
