Hi
Please help out to select the codes for this report.

Patient existing pacemaker generator skin pocket was infected. Incision and drainage was done by using scalpel and existing skin pocket was closed with dressing. New pocket was created in the additional area of skin and pacemaker generator was relocated without complication.


CPT please

Thanks

In this case you would code the relocation and not the incision and drainage. 33222 for pacemaker
