New CRT-D with His lead

Date: Feb 1, 2018

Question:

Patient receives a new CRT-D with the third lead placed at the bundle of His (as opposed to the LV). For the lead charges we are using HCPCS codes C1777, C1898, and C1898 (instead of C1900). For procedure codes we are still unsure. We have 33249 for the device; what additional procedure code would be best for the His bundle lead placement?
