Published on Sat Feb 01, 2003
Post this handy list, which includes the code descriptions and the current relative value units (RVUs) for the new cardiology codes: 33215 Repositioning of previously implanted transvenous pacemaker or pacing cardioverter-defibrillator (right atrial or right ventricular) electrode RVUs: 8.27 33224 Insertion of pacing electrode, cardiac venous system, for left ventricular pacing, with attachment to previously placed pacemaker or pacing cardioverter-defibrillator pulse generator (including revision of pocket, removal, insertion and/or replacement of generator) RVUs: 13.33 +33225 ... at time of insertion of pacing cardioverter-defibrillator or pacemaker pulse generator (including upgrade to dual chamber system) (list separately in addition to code for primary procedure) RVUs: 11.81 33226 Repositioning of previously implanted cardiac venous system (left ventricular) electrode (including removal, insertion and/or replacement of generator) RVUs: 12.84 93580 Percutaneous transcatheter closure of congenital interatrial communication (i.e., fontan fenestration, atrial septal defect) with implant RVUs: 26.48 93581 Percutaneous transcatheter closure of a congenital ventricular septal defect with implant RVUs: 35.41.
