Cardiology practices handling cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs face a pressing issue: complex billing requirements that directly impact financial performance. With new CPT/HCPCS codes and telehealth policies for 2025 still unclear, missed billable events, documentation errors, or compliance issues can cost significant revenue. Services like CPT 93298 for remote interrogations and CPT 99454, which requires at least 16 days of data transmission per billing cycle, add to the complexity.
Specialized medical billing software offers a practical fix by automating CPT code capture, securing compliance documentation, and boosting revenue from CIED and RPM services. These tools cut down on manual billing tasks and lower the risk of claim rejections. From pulling data together automatically to prioritizing critical alerts, the right software turns billing struggles into efficient, profitable workflows.
Many cardiology practices using platforms like Rhythm360 report up to a 300% increase in revenue capture through improved billing processes and strong compliance support. Reach out for a Rhythm360 demo now to see how automated CPT code capture can strengthen your practice's finances.
Cardiology billing goes beyond standard medical services, demanding careful handling of specific CPT codes for device monitoring and remote patient management. CIED codes like 93296, 93297, and 93298 involve heavy staff time and resources that manual processes often miss. Similarly, RPM services need detailed records of patient consent, device setup, and daily data transmission to meet billing rules.
Older billing methods create gaps where revenue slips away. Technicians waste hours logging into different manufacturer portals, copying data by hand, and tracking billable events across scattered systems. This drains clinical time and raises the chance of missed payments or compliance errors. Managing patients with devices from multiple brands, such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, or Biotronik, only adds to the workload.
Rhythm360 solves these problems with a single, vendor-neutral platform that automatically records billable events from CIED transmissions and RPM services. Its AI-driven system achieves over 99.9% data transmissibility, essential for meeting the 16-day data requirement for CPT 99454, while producing audit-ready documentation. Practices using Rhythm360 have cut critical response times by up to 80% and increased revenue capture by as much as 300% through better CPT code billing.
