Jan 26, 2015 · I have a table in my cpt book (professional edition, pg 187) that specifies this procedure. The codes listed are :33225 +33228 or 33229. I only see 2 leads documented, so I would code 33225+33228. And, I agree, this is more involved than just the requirements of 33214. Sorry for the delay.. HTH

The hospital inpatient payment system is a prospective payment system (PPS) that classifies patients according to diagnosis, type of treatment, age, and other relevant criteria using the ICD-10-PCS coding system. Under this system, hospitals typically receive a predefined payment for treating patients within a particular category or Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG).
Patients must have demonstrated: ⿑An episode of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, either spontaneous or induced by an electrophysiology (EP) study, not associated with an acute myocardial infarction and not due to a transient or reversible cause; or ⿑An episode of cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, not due to a transient or reversible cause.
Medicare covers a variety of services for the post-implant follow-up and evaluation of implanted cardiac pacemakers. The following guidelines are designed to assist Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) in identifying and processing claims for such services.
