CRT-D PLACEMENT

Date: Feb 21, 2019

Question:

I'm fairly new at coding. How would I code a CRT placement with capped atrial port? An RV single-coil ICD lead was delivered and deployed, as well as CS lead, both leads anchored to the floor of the pocket. Pulse generator was brought to the field and the atrial port was plugged. Code 33249 is correct for dual leads. How do we account for CS lead, 33225?
