Question:

Please do NOT include any actual patient medical records with your question. I have a physician who brought a patient in remo-repl biv-icd he was unable to induce VF with repeated pacing with low-energy shock programmed or high-frequency voltage induction. There were frequent burst of non-sustained polymorphic VT. For that reason a 1 Joule shcok was test and the shock impedance was 44ohms. would you code 33264, 93641? Please let me know asap. Thanks, Marsha Richardson Chatta, TN
