this is short of it from his dictation. He has all his dictation correct
My doctor upgraded to BIV pm with new RV lead implant, temporary pm wire placement and removal.
patient previous had single chamber implanted with an epicardial lead . The patient presents for a pm generator change out and addition of RV pacing lead.
explanted single device
implanted pm generator
lead information:
RA lead port is plugged
New RV lead
New LV lead
temp epicardial wire removed
Would the codes be 33233, 33235, 33225 and 33207 or 33208
Do we follow the leads inserted when coding or do we follow what system patient leaves with?
Any guidance and reference is appreciated. Thanks
