A patient is noted to have a Biventricular Pacemaker. I can see in the device analysis that the patient has 3 leads; atrial, right ventricular, left ventricular. The atrial is noted to be "off" and the right and left ventricular to be on. Would this change the cpt code? If the patient has 3 leads would I still code a 93281 or should it be coded as 93280 because one lead is not "on"?
I ask because the Interrogation report had Dual Chamber pacer listed as the device but also noted a Bivent pacer in the Impression. I would think that we would still bill for the Bivent but have no one to provide guidance in my place of work at this time.
