Reimbursement rates for long-term ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring services provided by diagnostic testing facilities raised.

HF 1935 raises reimbursement rates for long-term heart rhythm monitoring services provided by diagnostic testing facilities in Minnesota. Specifically, it requires the state to pay these facilities 100% of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rate (or higher) for external cardiac patch monitoring devices worn by patients for 48+ hours to detect dangerous heart arrhythmias. This change affects diagnostic testing facilities that provide these specific cardiac monitoring services, which help diagnose conditions that could lead to stroke or cardiac arrest if undetected. The new rate takes effect on January 1, 2026, or after federal approval, whichever comes later.
