LV lead implant, only functioning lead

Date: Feb 24, 2021

Question:

Patient comes in for a dual PM @ ERI. Generator removed (ERI), RA lead capped (non sensing), RV lead removed (does not clearly state why). Then a NEW LV lead was placed, and a new generator.

How exactly would we code this? 33225, 33229? With a -52 modifier on 33229? Or 33207, 33225, 33233, 33235? With a -52 on 33207? LV lead is the only functioning lead.
