Question:

Please do NOT include any actual patient medical records with your question. Dr. Z, I have a question about the new ICD coding. If a patient is having an upgrade from a dual chamber ICD to A Biv ICD with removal of old gererator and insertion of new geenerator,and LV lead insertion only, do I use 33263 and 33225, or 33264 and 33225, or other? Thanks. D
