Reprogramming of pacemaker after AV Node ablation

Date: Jun 24, 2020

Question:

I have a case where patient already had the pacemaker inserted previously and was coming back for an AV node ablation. They performed pre-op and post-op reprogramming of the pacemaker during the same session as the AV node ablation. Can I report the perioperative device programming, and, if so what would my codes be?
