Dual Chamber PM replacement and pocket revsion

Date: Sep 8, 2021

Question:

We noticed you no longer get an edit with 33222 and 33228, so we were wondering in this scenario if we could charge for both. "The device was removed from the pocket, and the leads disconnected from the device. The pocket was enlarged inferiorly to relocate the PM lower to accommodate radiation therapy. The leads were tested and reconnected to the new generator."
