Dr. Z, How would you suggest coding for the AngelMed device. This is a new research project and the product supplied by the vendor for no charge. The device has an RV lead and a small generator type device inserted subcutaneouosly just like a single chamber pacemaker as it continually monitors the patient for any heart attack and alerts the patient to get help. The cath lab wants to charge this with 33207 not sure on this, please advise. Thanks
