NCD for Biventricular Pacemakers

Date: Jul 1, 2014

Question:

When we are coding for biventricular pacemakers, we are having a conflict with the NCD for Single and Dual Chamber Pacemakers. The claims are being held if they do not have diagnosis acceptable for this NCD. Is there a separate NCD for biventricular pacemakers? We can only find NCD for biventricular defibrillators. This seems to be a recent development.
