Hello.
I need a second opinion on a coding scenario. When the physician removes and replaces a PM generator but the new generator is placed in a new pocket, can you also bill for pocket relocation? There are no CCI edit conflicts for this code combination.
33227 Removal of permanent pacemaker pulse generator with replacement of pacemaker pulse generator; single lead system
33222 - Relocation of skin pocket for pacemaker
Thanks for your input!
