Good Morning,
I need some advice on coding please
My doctor did a dual chamber pacemaker pulse generator removal and replacement.
He ended up capping off and replacing one of the old leads (ventricular) and reused the other (atrial).
How would you code that?
He used 33207 and 33233 but Blue Cross is saying "This should be billed with the appropriate codes for these services"
Am wondering if we need to add a 33234 for the removal of the lead, or maybe use the 33228 with a 33218 fir the lead repair?
Help!
