I'm new to ANesthesia coding and had a question. What ASA code do you use for Pacemaker battery change? Is it 00400?

Thanks.:confused:
 
Your CPT codes would be 33212 or 33213 for insertion of new and 33233 for removal of old. Usually these are located on the anterior chest/subclavicular area which would be ASA code 00400 (anesthesia anterior trunk).
