Watchman Deployed but Removed
Date: Jun 26, 2020
Question:
My provider performed a Watchman procedure. The device was deployed, and completion TEE revealed leakage around the device and the decision was made to remove it. It was recaptured and removed. Can we still bill 33340 since it was deployed initially?
