- Other clinically relevant cardiac events recorded on the Zio Patch after the first 24 hours of monitoring, including symptomatic ventricular pauses, prompted referrals for pacemaker placement or changes in medications. As a result of the findings from the Zio Patch, 28.4% of patients had a change in their clinical management.
- In the prospective time-paired comparative study led by electrophysiologist Robert Rho, 30 patients simultaneously wore a pectorally-placed arrhythmia monitoring patch (iRhythm Technologies, Zio XT patch) and a P-wave centric arrhythmia monitoring patch (Bardy Diagnostics, CAM patch) placed over the sternum with the intent of recording for seven days.
- The FDA-cleared ZIO Patch is a small, adhesive, water-resistant one lead ECG sensor that the user can stick onto their chest for a continuous 24-hour monitoring over 2 weeks.
- Zio XT is covered by all major commercial insurance companies and Medicare with 93 percent of covered lives in-network. Zio's broad insurance coverage ensures that patient cost is not a barrier to getting the care they deserve.

Zio Cardiac Rhythm Monitoring is used by physicians to detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms in patients.
The simple Zio patch is placed on the patient’s chest for up to a period of two weeks. This small device records the patient’s heart rhythms at all times (including exercising, sleeping and showering) and saves that information for the doctor to review. Easier to use and longer-lasting than a holter monitor, the Zio system offers a more comprehensive view of your heart’s activities.
If you’ve ever had the feeling that your has heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, or that it beats too quickly or too slowly, this may be a sign of arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation.
Zio Patch Instructions For Use
Arrhythmias may be caused by many different factors, including prior heart attack or heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea. Irregular heart rhythms can also occur in “normal, healthy” hearts.
Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFib.

At AUC, we offer this service for $475 for TWO WEEKS of monitoring and analysis (if your insurance does not cover it). Most insurances, including Medicare, do cover it. However, BC/BS for example, does not. Please call and check with your insurance company if you have questions.

Wearable Patch Holter Monitoring
Traditional 24 hour Holter monitoring has evolved substantially in recent years due to the advent of a wearable 3-14 day long term continuous monitoring or long term Holter monitoring patch.
Zio Patch Cardiac Monitoring Cpt
Much of the clinical evidence has concluded that there is substantial clinical value in detecting abnormal cardiac arrhythmias with 3-14 times more ECG data than traditional 24 hours. Further, the wearable patch is much preferred by patients since there are no lead wires, no need to remove the monitor to shower (water resistant) and the simplicity to report a symptom.

Most clinicians now report a significant increase in patient compliance with wearable patch monitoring as most patients say they actually ‘forget’ that they are even wearing a monitor. And medical staff is evolving to this method of monitoring due to the ease of application and easy to explain the simple event button for elderly or challenged patients. Macdraw pro.
From a clinical utility point of view, most physicians are now focused on monitoring methods that are easier for the patient to wear for extended monitoring durations. With such a great focus on early detection & management of atrial fibrillation, most clinicians are turning to the long term continuous wearable Holter patch such as the ZIO Patch or the EZecg Patch as the first line of monitoring.
