Multilead generator replacement with addition of LV lead

Date: May 15, 2012

Question:

Dr. Dunn, I am getting conflicting information. I have been told that on one of your webinars that you say the new gen replacement codes such as 33264 can not be used with any new leads. In all the Zhealth products I have purchased I do not see that. Maybe this is new infromation I missed??...So even though it has been asked before: how do you code for multi lead gen replacement (33264) attached to exsisting RA and RV leads with a new LV lead inserted, DFT testing. I thought it was 33264, 33225 and 93641. Has this information changed? From what I have read from the Zhealth and other sites is that the new gen replacement codes cannot be coded with new RA and RV lead insertion because combined codes exist but the LV lead is different because there is not a seprate code that combines them so they are coded seperatly. Let me know if I missed something or maybe I am not understanding....Thank you for your help and hopefully I will understand it this time!
