Hello All looking for some help with this code 33223.
Doctor performed BIV ICD upgrade so I used 33240 &33241. Now he also did pocket revision which I want to use 33223 but all the CCI edits say it is included. The old pocket was in left pectoral and note states that patient was so thin that the new pocket had to be relocated to submuscular pocket. Do you think it is appropriate to use the 33223??
Any advice would be appreciated .
Thanks
