Encounter for adjustment and management of other part of cardiac pacemaker
The patient arrives in the hospital’s emergency service unit in a state of cardiac arrest and is resuscitated (and admitted) with the condition prompting the cardiac arrest known, such as ventricular tachycardia or trauma. The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest.
When a complete EPS is not performed on the same date of service as the cardiac catheter ablation procedure, report additional components separately as appropriate according to parenthetical instructions and documentation in the medical record.

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a device that detects any life-threatening, rapid heartbeat. This abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. If it occurs, the ICD quickly sends an electrical shock to the heart. The shock changes the rhythm back to normal. This is called defibrillation.

AF successfully controlled by cardiac ablation alone (not requiring antiarrhythmic medications) should be reported using code Z86. 79 (history of AF). If cardiac ablation for AF was performed and the patient still requires medication to prevent recurrences, the diagnosis should be AF and not “history of AF”.
CPT codes 93653, 93654, and 93656 are assigned to APC 5213, as these CPT codes include both a diagnostic study and ablation in a single code.
Ablation is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It uses small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. This can help the heart maintain a normal heart rhythm. The heart has 4 chambers.
AFIB Ablation ICD 10 If the patient has had an ablation for paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation, it will be under code 148.91 now that the patient is in sinus rhythm. If the condition is no longer present or therapy is required, the follow-up code Z09 would be used.
The CPT® section notes state, “Code 93656 is a primary code for reporting treatment of atrial fibrillation by ablation to achieve complete pulmonary vein electrical isolation.” (emphasis added).
Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (I48.
Chronic atrial fibrillation, unspecified I48. 20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I48. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
What is an electrophysiology study and catheter ablation? An electrophysiology study is a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and to diagnose arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythms. Catheter ablation is a procedure performed to treat some types of arrhythmia.
Neurolytic Destruction Procedures (Radiofrequency Ablation): Per the current CPT Professional edition code book, codes 64633, 64634, 64635, and 64636 are reported per joint, not per nerve.

Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in heart rate, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
