Question:

The patient has a right ventricular lead, which was retained. The old generator was replaced with a Quadra Allure MP™ CRT-P, and the left ventricular lead was inserted. Would code 33229 be reported, or is 33214 more appropriate since only the right and left ventricular leads were utilized?
