Level 1
                  Requires a device capable of recording three or more simultaneous channels and the
                  acquisition of a continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic recording of all beats, using three
                  or more skin electrodes. The device must also have the ability to analyze and manually review
                  all parts of the recording, and to produce graphical and quantitative reports of relevant
                  parameters and diagnostic quality tracings for visual review, including post-hoc review of any
                  portion of the recording to enable diagnostic rhythm analysis. Must include a patient diary and
                  event marker capability to enable symptom-rhythm correlation. Minimum 12 hours of
                  monitoring.

DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES
 ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (ECG)
                                                                                 T         P
          2.Where the duration of the service is more than 36 hours, claims for such services must be
            submitted using the appropriate listed code for that time duration and cannot be submitted
            using multiples of lesser time duration codes.
          3.G647, G648, G649, G694, G695 and G696 are only eligible for payment once per 30 day
            period per patient.
          4.Services related to external cardiac loop recording devices that rely solely on patient
            activation to record electrocardiographic data and do not have the capability of real-time
            rhythm analysis are not insured.
          Medical record requirements:
          In order to demonstrate that payment requirements have been met, all test reports that form
          part of the patient record under this section must include the following information: the number
          of channels recorded, whether the recording was continuous, whether it was analyzed in real
          time, post-hoc or both and other information, such as, the name of the manufacturer and the
          model of the device(s) used in the performance of the test.
