Can anyone help with coding for an evacuation of a hematoma in a pacemaker pocket? The patient had a pacemaker implant and on the same day was found to have a hematoma in the pocket. The pocket was opened up and the hematoma evacuated. Would this be included in the global of the pacemaker implant or is this billable and how would it be coded? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank!!
