Pacemaker/AICD Pocket Revision

Date: Feb 12, 2014

Question:

We are having trouble with how to code for a pocket revision when the pocket is not relocated. It is our understanding that the revision is bundled into the placement or replacement of the pacemaker/AICD. What do we code if all that is performed is a revision of the pocket?
