Okay,
The patient I'm working on had a single chamber ICD and was brought in for an upgrade to a Bi-V ICD.
The existing RV lead was left in place and a new LV lead was inserted as well as the old generator explanted and a new one placed.
I know to report the 33225 but I'm wondering about the generator change out code. I guess I feel that it would be 33263 because only 2 chambers are now being paced, the RV/LV.
My doctor circled the 33264 for multiple. I don't feel that that might be correct? Can someone please help as I'm new to the EP world. Only been doing EP for a few months now.
