TYRX Antibotic pocket- is pocket revision billable with new lead

Date: Mar 6, 2019

Question:

The V lead only is being replaced. Old lead is capped; new lead is placed. The generator is placed in a TYRX antibiotic pocket. The pocket is made a bit bigger down below and above to accommodate the TYRX device. Would pocket revision - 33222 be billable with the new lead - 33216 in this situation? Code correct shows 33222 is bundled but a modifier is allowed.
