Pacemaker & ICD are two different devices. While pacemaker’s job is to treat slow heart rate, ICD’s job is to treat very fast chaotic heart rhythm. Pacemaker is used when patient’s heart rate drops to dangerously low levels.

Z95.0ICD-10 code Z95. 0 for Presence of cardiac pacemaker is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
V45. 01 - Cardiac pacemaker in situ. ICD-10-CM.
The coding and billing guidelines only apply to those CPT codes for the initial insertion of cardiac pacemakers: 33206 Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial. 33207 ventricular.
0JH636ZICD-10-PCS Code 0JH636Z - Insertion of Pacemaker, Dual Chamber into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Percutaneous Approach - Codify by AAPC.
If you need to have a pacemaker fitted, a small electrical device called a pacemaker will be surgically implanted in your chest. The pacemaker sends electrical pulses to your heart to keep it beating regularly and not too slowly.
Z95.810Z95. 810 - Presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator. ICD-10-CM.
80,000 linesThe software in a pacemaker may require over 80,000 lines of code, a drug-infusion pump 170,000 lines and an MRI (magnetic-resonance imaging) scanner more than 7m lines.
CPT® 33249, Under Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33249 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures.

This type usually carries electrical impulses to the right ventricle of your heart. Dual chamber pacemaker. This type carries electrical impulses to the right ventricle and the right atrium of your heart to help control the timing of contractions between the two chambers.

02/2014 - The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is effective for claims with dates of service on or after August 13, 2013, contractors shall allow payment for nationally covered implanted permanent cardiac pacemakers, single chamber or dual chamber, for the indications outlined in the manuals for this CR.
This NCD has been or is currently being reviewed under the National Coverage Determination process. The following are existing associations with NCAs, from the National Coverage Analyses database.
Anticoagulation is often prescribed, because clots can form in the heart and be embolized to the brain, causing strokes. Pacemakers in atrial fibrillation are most commonly placed for symptomatic bradycardia, either medication-induced or due to aging, diseased heart muscle. It is less common to insert a pacemaker for overdrive atrial pacing.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia, afflicting between 2 and 6 million people in the United States. Changes in the anatomy and electrophysiology of the smaller upper chambers of the heart, or atria, cause chaotic electrical impulses, which are unpredictably propagated to the lower chambers, or ventricles, ...
Some say because the PCP has to prescribe medications, they should still be able to code afib. Some say once the pacemaker is placed, they should only code the pacemaker.”. She then asked my opinion. I have a greater appreciation for this after my father had a recent admission for a heart rate of 27.
It is less common to insert a pacemaker for overdrive atrial pacing. The pacemaker does not directly treat atrial fibrillation, and it certainly does not cure or resolve it. There are reasons why we code. We translate the acute patient encounter into codes to determine reimbursement.
