CPT Code 93224: External Electrocardiographic (ECG) Recording and Monitoring for Up to 48 Hours

No, it does not include event monitoring; it specifically covers continuous external ECG recording and monitoring for up to 48 hours (Holter monitoring) with recording, scanning, and interpretation.

CPT Code 93224 is generally not covered for screening purposes; Medicare and most payers require a documented medical necessity for diagnostic use rather than routine screening.
