Thank you mam

[@CodeMedMastery]

Most welcome.

THANKS FOR THIS SERIES
IN THE LAST QUESTION , 33241 CODE MENTIONED IN PARTENTHETICAL GUIDELINE [ DO NOT CODE 33240 IN CONJUNCTION WITH 33240 FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFIBRILATOR ] HOW TO CODE 33241 WITH 33240

[@CodeMedMastery]

In the scenario, where a battery change is required for a single-chamber pacing cardioverter-defibrillator system, and the battery is removed and replaced in the same operative session, it is appropriate to code for both the removal and the insertion.
Both the removal and insertion can be reported, with the use of modifier -51 to indicate that multiple procedures were performed during the same surgical session.

txs madam

[@CodeMedMastery]

You're welcome

[@paulvidal6161]

Hi maam i think the full description of choice C is "Insertion of pacemaker pulse generator only; with existing dual leads" originating from the mother code 33212, is that correct? 🙏

[@CodeMedMastery]

Yes you've got it right 👍

[@elletran5117]

For the question: "Patient required a battery change for a single chamber pacing..." and your answer is: B. 33241, 33240-51. but i see on code 33241 at the bottom mention "do not report 33241 in conjunction with 33230, 33231, 33240 for removal and replacement of the inplantable..." Can you please clarify this?

[@CodeMedMastery]

For the scenario described, where a battery change for a single-chamber pacing cardioverter-defibrillator system was performed, the correct coding would be:
33241, Removal of implantable defibrillator pulse generator only;
33240, Insertion of permanent implantable defibrillator pulse generator only;
-51 for Multiple procedures.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 33241, 33240-51.

[@elletran5117]

@@CodeMedMastery so if in the scenario, there is an option to choose 33262. it is the corrected answer right?

[@anitojabez6517]

Yeah. You are right. Thanks for the information to updating here

[@rashmisammeta1606]

If in question not mention of any temporary or permanent what should we could mam?

[@CodeMedMastery]

In such cases, code on the basis of single/dual/multiple chamber and check what procedure is done such as insertion/placement/upgradation or removal.

[@rashmisammeta1606]

Ok thank you mam🤩

[@rdj887]

Code permanent bro if physician not said anything code permanent pacemaker
