Inpatient coding question: Patient has atrial fibrillation and undergoes external cardioversion. Is that coded with 99.61 Atrial cardioversion or 99.62 Other electric countershock of the heart (which includes external cardioversion.) I was under the impression that atrial cardioversion was internal during surgery. I can't seem to find anything differentiating between the two procedures though.
