Cardioversion

Date: Sep 29, 2021

Question:

“Successful DCCV with 1x 200J.” Is this enough documentation to code a cardioversion (92960), or do we need the report to give more details (for example, pad placed and internal vs. external)? I assumed this is enough with DC (direct current) meaning it was done external and the amount of Jules for how much current.
