Automated CPT 93298 documentation has become a core capability for cardiology practices. Manual workflows increase the risk of missed billing opportunities, claim denials, and slow turnaround for clinical decisions. These gaps affect revenue and add to staff workload, which raises burnout and compliance risk.
Data fragmentation across Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) portals is a major barrier to effective CPT 93298 documentation. Once a practice manages devices from more than one manufacturer, such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, or Biotronik, clinical staff must navigate separate systems to retrieve patient data. These silos make complete patient assessment difficult and extend the time required for documentation.
Complete and compliant documentation for CPT 93298 in 2025 must clearly establish medical necessity, including symptoms, test results, and risk factors that support monitoring. Requirements extend beyond raw data to detailed, time-stamped reports that show the clinical rationale for monitoring decisions.
Administrative overload and alert fatigue often result from manual systems. Staff spend hours logging into multiple portals, transcribing data, and trying to prioritize alerts from several sources. This fragmented approach wastes time and increases the chance of missing important patient events.
Practices that want to reduce these documentation challenges can schedule a demo to see how Rhythm360 supports automated CPT 93298 workflows.
Effective CPT 93298 automation starts with consolidating data from all cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) manufacturers into one platform. Traditional methods require teams to log into each OEM portal separately, which slows work and increases the chance of missed transmissions.
Rhythm360 uses a vendor-neutral design to remove these silos. The platform ingests data through API feeds, HL7 messages, XML files, and unstructured PDFs using computer vision tools. This approach supports greater than 99.9 percent data transmissibility so critical information is rarely lost due to format or connectivity issues. Redundant data feeds provide backup when OEM servers experience downtime, which helps maintain continuous data flow.
Remote device transmissions create large volumes of information, much of which is routine or not billable. The key task is identifying billable events that justify CPT 93298 while filtering out low-value noise that contributes to alert fatigue.
Rhythm360 uses an AI-supported alert triage system that analyzes incoming transmissions and prioritizes clinically significant events. Automated rules separate billable from non-billable activity so staff can focus on events that require intervention and documentation. This targeted workflow can shorten critical response times and supports near real-time reports for clinical decision-making.
Compliant CPT 93298 documentation must include specific, repeatable elements that support billing and withstand audits. Core components include:
Documentation should specify procedure details, including the device used, and align with current coding and payer rules. Rhythm360 incorporates these requirements into standardized report templates to improve consistency and reduce denials.
The platform maintains detailed audit trails for each report, including time stamps and justification for monitoring decisions. Documentation must contain the legible signature of the responsible provider, and Rhythm360 supports this through secure electronic signatures within routine workflows.
The CY 2025 Physician Fee Schedule places added focus on documentation for remote monitoring codes, which makes automated compliance features an important part of practice risk management.
Automation reaches full value when reports flow directly into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and billing systems. Manual entry of documentation into the EHR consumes staff time and introduces transcription errors that can affect claim accuracy.
Rhythm360 uses bi-directional EHR integration so completed reports move directly into the patient record. This approach removes duplicate data entry while preserving data quality. Automated CPT code capture flags billable events and applies the appropriate codes. Including all required elements in each submission is essential to limit claim denials for CPT 93298, and standardized reports help practices meet those requirements consistently.
Some practices see substantial profitability gains when automation reduces manual effort and identifies previously missed billing opportunities.
The rules that govern CPT 93298 continue to change. Successful automation depends on platforms that can reflect updates from the AMA, CMS, and commercial payers without frequent manual rework. Regular review of CPT guidance, Medicare policies, and payer-specific documentation rules helps keep workflows aligned with current standards. Rhythm360 incorporates regulatory updates into its platform so practices can maintain compliance with less effort.
Overlapping monitoring periods are a common source of denials. Claims for electrocardiographic monitoring, including CPT 93298, can be denied when dates overlap across services. Rhythm360 reduces this risk by enforcing non-overlapping billing intervals and clearly labeling monitoring periods for each patient.
Effective automation should produce clear improvements in both operations and revenue. Useful key performance indicators (KPIs) include:
As these indicators improve, clinical teams can redirect time from administrative work to direct patient care, which often supports better patient and staff satisfaction.
Cardiology practices that want to improve these KPIs can schedule a demo to review Rhythm360 workflows in detail.
Advanced automation platforms create opportunities beyond basic device checks. Rhythm360 supports development of new Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) service lines, including heart failure and hypertension programs, which can expand both clinical services and revenue.
The platform offers a centralized workspace for rhythm disorders, heart failure, and hypertension. This view helps administrators allocate staff, refine protocols, and identify where additional RPM services may add value for patients and the practice.
