Patient has 427.81, pacemaker is now in place, do we still code 427.81 for pacer checks or should we be using V45.01? We have an HMO stating not to code 427.81 on pacers due to CMS Guidelines. Can any assist or guide me to the CMS publication.

Thanks
Karen
 
We use V45.01 with 93288/93293/93294/93296.

We use V45.02 with 93289/93295/93297

We use V53.31 with 93279-93286

We use V53.32 with 93282-93287
