Medicare Coverage Issues Manual
Section 50-42, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, is revised to specify that a physician is required to perform the interpretation of the data obtained through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, but that there are no requirements regarding the setting in which the interpretation is performed. Everything else in this national coverage determination remains unchanged.
