🤔 Is Evaluation of cardiac rhythm monitor system, remote up to 30 days Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT 93298 shows a 1.3x variation in pricing across states — relatively consistent by Medicare standards.

Costs have decreased 4.1% since 2014. Medicare's fee schedule attempts to standardize pricing, though some variation is expected due to geographic cost-of-living adjustments and practice expense differences.

This analysis is based on publicly available CMS data and does not account for patient complexity, comorbidities, or facility-specific factors that may justify pricing differences.
