All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information, including complete name and dates of service.
The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the patient's care.
The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s).

When billing Medicare Part B for analysis of a Wearable Defibrillator System, report CPT code 93292.
Report CPT codes 93260, 93261, and 93279-93292 when performing the corresponding cardiac rhythm device evaluation procedures (reported per procedure).
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is medically necessary when the patient has one or more documented diagnoses listed as supporting medical necessity (e.g., F91.9, G97.81, T81.9XXA, T88.8XXA, F79) and the diagnosis is matched to the anesthesia/CPT/HCPCS procedure performed.
Use G9 anesthesia modifier to indicate need for MAC due to a history of severe or advanced cardiopulmonary disease when the proceduralist determines additional monitoring is required.
Use G8 anesthesia modifier for certain deep, complex, complicated, or markedly invasive surgical procedures when applied to anesthesia codes 00100, 00300, 00400, 00160, 00532, or 00920.
MAC may be appropriate for pediatric patients (Medicare-eligible and younger than 18) when documented using ICD-10-CM code T88.8XXA and clinical records justify the need for MAC.
