I have an encounter for a patient who had a SQICD removed and replaced with a dual ICD. My question is what codes would I use for this? I can't seem to find a code for the removal of the SQICD. Would I just use the 33263 for the upgrade of the ICD? Thanks in advance for any advice or direction.

Code 33272 for the removal of the electrode, 33241 for removal of the generator, and 33249-59 for the dual ICD insertion.
