Question:
Dr, Z Some of our facilities are going to start using the Medtronic Revo MRI SureScan pacing system. Out dilema is this. The company packages and bills for this as a complete system including the Revo MRI SureScan IPG and 2 CapSureFix MRI leads. On the invoice there is only 1 price for the complete system. The patients are usually outpatients and therefore we need HCPC codes for the generator and the leads. Is it appropriate for us to split up the package price and designate part of the cost to the generator and each of the leads? If not, how do you suggest we code/bill for this pacemaker system? Thanks! Judy
