Pacemaker to pace out Aflutter

Date: Feb 18, 2022

Question:

A scheduled external cardioversion was set to be performed. Patient was sedated, and then it was decided that patient's pacemaker would be used to terminate rhythm with success. I don't believe that 92960-73 would be appropriate in this scenario, as the procedure was not discontinued due to patient safety or extenuating circumstances. Is there a charge that would capture this? 93724?
