Code Holter hook-up only for “traditional” device

Article Overview

This article reviews sweeping updates to cardiac monitoring CPT coding, with emphasis on distinguishing traditional Holter monitor services from newer mobile cardiovascular telemetry workflows. It is aimed at primary care and other outpatient practices that may perform monitor connection and disconnection but do not necessarily provide review, interpretation, or surveillance services. The discussion places the changes in context with CPT updates, AMA symposium guidance, and general monitoring terminology so readers can assess whether their workflow falls inside or outside the billing categories described.
