ICD Downgrade to Pacemaker

Date: Oct 24, 2014

Question:

A patient had a biventricular AICD with a right atrial lead. They brought the patient to the EP lab and did an AV node ablation. Then they added a His bundle lead and capped the right atrial lead. They replaced the generator with a biventricular pacemaker generator. I am unsure of how to code this. I was thinking of reporting codes 93650, 33207, and 33241. What are your thoughts?
