Ask Dr. Z

I am question how to code this procedure for an intra-operative ICD lead and generator evaluation.

"Patient was taken to the EP lab with moderate sedation. The RV lead was inspected radiographically and physically. There was no obvious abnormality. The pin was inserted to the appropriate position past the electrodes. There was no change in the lead position radiographically. The interrogation intra-operatively at the time of surgery was within normal limits. Given this we took out each of the leads and re-inserted the leads in the header and re-secured the set screw, though this was also done previously. Interrogation of the device and leads revealed normalized function, as it was intra-operatively and post operatively previously."

I was thinking of code 93624 with a modifier -52 or option 93642 with modifier -52 since he did not induce or attempt induction of arrhythmia, or simply 93283 with the place of service as OP?
