I am stuck on how to code the following scenario:
PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
Lead Revision
The doctor disconnected the biventricular ICD from the leads. There was an old right ventricular pace/sense lead present that was previously capped. He uncapped this lead, tested it and found it to be acceptable to use on the RV pace/sense position. The RV pace/sense portion of the defribrillation lead was capped. The leads were reconnected and the device tested.
Can we only code for the testing, 93462, since there was no insertion or replacement? Or is there another code we can use? We looked at 33215, but was not sure if this was acceptable.
Please Help!!!!
