Is there a specific dx code that I can, or should, use for a "NEAR" end of life pacemaker check?

There seems to be some confusion in our office and the only dx code I have been using is V53.31.

Can someone please educate me on this?

Thank you so much!

we use the 996.01 for ppm and 996.04 for icds
hope this helps
 
You could use either code, V53.31 or 996.01. there are no guidelines stating how near end-of-life the battery should be to use V53.31 or v53.32.

Hope this helps.
