7 day heart monitor6/18/2023 ![]() Note: Digitalization and/or color display of results are considered incidental features of Holter monitoring. Note: For Aetna's policy on home-based real-time cardiac surveillance systems (e.g., CardioNet Mobile Outpatient Cardiac Telemetry Service, Cardiac Telecom Telemetry Home Service), see CPB 0073 - Cardiac Event Monitors.Īetna considers the Empatica E4 Wristband experimental and investigational for ambulatory heart rate variability monitoring because its effectiveness has not been established. The literature indicates that if more frequent monitoring is needed to evaluate arrhythmias, use of cardiac event recorders should be considered. Holter monitoring lasting more than 48 hours is generally considered not medically necessary. Holter monitoring is generally considered medically necessary no more frequently than twice in a six month time period.
