Pacemaker upgrade

Date: Apr 4, 2012

Question:

Hi Dr. Z - We can't wait to see you in Boston this year but until then we are confused as to how to code this scenario using the 2012 CPT codes. What are the CPT codes for upgrade of a dual chamber pacemaker to a biventricular pacemaker with insertion of an LV lead? (Patient retains RV and RA lead with removal of Dual chamber generator, insertion of new Biventricular generator and insertion of new lv lead). Thanks so much!
