Replace pacemaker and LVL

Date: Jul 9, 2012

Question:

Please do NOT include any actual patient medical records with your question. I have a replacement of a biventricular pacemaker with a replacement of the LV lead. The LV lead was removed as well. The encoder takes me to 33208, 33225, 33235 and 33233. I believe at least I should change the 33235 to 33234. Thank you
