There is confusion in our office regarding the KX modifier usage on pacemakers.
It is understood that you need certain CPT, HCPCS, and Diagnosis codes but what is confusing is when they talk about the "non-reversible symptomatic bradycardia". Must this be documented in the record or is it assumed.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
