Extraction and Implantation of an RA lead for Dual-Chamber pacemaker.

Date: Mar 21, 2025

Question:

The RA lead was extracted, and a new RA lead with a dual PPM generator replacement was completed. Should this be reported with codes 33235, 33233, and 33206? Are we basing the coding on the type of generator or how many leads are placed?
