Wiki Insertion of an endocardial lead

[JParker5]

Hi I'm new to insertion of pacemaker. I have a physician who is inserting a endocardial lead on the out side of the skin. We have all the other codes but the insertion of the lead. I was stating to code 33203 but he thinks it incorrect. Can anyone help?

33203 is correct unless you do it with an open incision. Then it would be 33202.
