Dual chamber pacemakers stimulate both the right atrium and the right ventricle. The implantation procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and requires only a brief hospitalization. A catheter is inserted into the chest and the pacemaker’s leads are threaded through the catheter to the appropriate chamber (s) of the heart.
The National Coverage Determination (NCD) 20.8.3, Single Chamber and Dual Chamber Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers were revised with an effective date of August 13, 2013. The CMS A/B Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) have been instructed to implement the NCD at the local level.

Dual Chamber Cardiac Pacemaker and Leads Next, a small incision was made into the skin and the leads were percutaneously passed into the right ventricle and right atrium. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 0JH606Z, Insertion of pacemaker generator. 02H63JZ, Insertion of device in atrium.
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.
Dual-chamber pacemakers have two leads, placed in the right atrium and right ventricle. They act synchronously when a slow natural heart rate is detected to mimic the sequential physiological contraction of the atria and ventricles. Single-chamber pacemakers may be atrial or ventricular.
A dual pacemaker includes a pulse generator and two electrodes, one inserted into the right atrium and one inserted into the right ventricle. If the surgeon is strictly placing the generator and the cardiologist is placing the leads, then look at codes 33212, 33213, or 33221.
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 .
Dual chamber pacemakers stimulate both the right atrium and the right ventricle. The implantation procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and requires only a brief hospitalization.
Pacing and Defibrillation Use in Pediatric Patients Dual-chamber ICDs are indicated for patients who require an ICD in addition to cardiac pacing for sinus node and/or AV node conduction disease, either due to an intrinsic etiology or antiarrhythmic therapy.
A dual chamber pacemaker paces the atrium and ventricle. A biventricular pacemaker paces both ventricles. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator can work as a pacemaker would. In addition, if it detects ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, it sends out a shock to reset the heart to a normal rhythm.
Therefore, a pacemaker or ICD that is DDDR means the pacemaker is pacing electrical activity in both the atrium and the ventricle and it is sensing activity in both the atrium and the ventricle.
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.
For instance, 33233 (removal of permanent pacemaker pulse generator) is used when the generator is removed but the leads remain, while 33212 (insertion or replacement of pacemaker pulse generator only; single chamber, atrial or ventricular) or 33213 (dual chamber) is the appropriate code when replacing the device.
33228. Removal of permanent pacemaker pulse generator with replacement of pacemaker pulse generator; dual lead system. For OPPS billing, add the HCPCS code for the implanted device: C2619.
