Peri-OP Device Eval.
Date: Nov 28, 2022
Question:
"Tachy therapies were disabled before the surgery, and pacing was turned to VVI 40 mode. Parameters were returned to original values at the end of the procedure." This verbiage is often used in reports I'm reviewing, and I wanted to know if I am correct in not reporting 93286/93287. The CPT guidelines state there should be a report regarding certain elements of the device in addition to the adjustment that is done peri-operatively. There is usually some version of this in the reports I see.
