MED.00134 Non-invasive Heart Failure and Arrhythmia Management and Monitoring Systems

This policy addresses non-invasive heart failure and arrhythmia management and monitoring systems (e.g., external physiologic monitoring such as impedance cardiography). Anthem considers these technologies investigational/experimental and not medically necessary; they are not covered for any indication. There are no exceptions or covered indications, and this applies across all settings and diagnoses (related codes may include CPT 93701 and HCPCS E1399, S0735).
