I have a situation I am hoping someone can help me with. A cardiology NP is called down to the OR to shut off a pacemaker on a patient who is going in for surgery, not necessarily a cardiac patient, just any random surgery. Then she is called back after the surgery to turn the pacemaker back on and reprogram it. Any ideas what codes to bill and can I bill twice, one for the shut off and one for the reprogram? Or is it considered one service? I am not too familiar with cardiology billing, and there are so many pacemaker codes nothing seems to fit, the NP really is doing nothing but shut off/turn on, and the patient isnt even her cardio patient most of the time. Thanks in advance!
