Left Bundle Branch Pacing Lead Insert
Date: Dec 18, 2023
Question:
How does Profee code for a left bundle branch pacing lead insertion? Please see example below. Patient had a dual pacemaker insertion (atrial and ventricular leads in addition to an LBB pacing lead. "LB pacing lead guiding catheter and .035 wire advanced, 3830 lead advanced and positioned in left bundle branch area. LB pacing lead position stable and lead sutured in place." Is this included in the insertion pacemaker/ICD codes? I'm not sure 33224/33225 would be correct in this situation either. Please advise.
