What is a dual chamber pacemaker?

Dual-chamber pacemaker With two leads, this device connects to both chambers on the right side of your heart, the right atrium and the right ventricle. The doctor programs the dual-chamber pacemaker to regulate the pace of contractions of both chambers.

What is included in codes for the insertion of a dual chamber pacemaker?

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.

What CPT and ICD-10-CM codes report percutaneous insertion of a dual chamber pacemaker?

Where is a dual chamber pacemaker inserted?

The pacemaker generator will be slipped under the skin through the incision (just below the collarbone) after the lead wire is attached to the generator. Generally, the generator will be placed on the nondominant side. (If you are right-handed, the device will be placed in your upper left chest.

What is the difference between a single and dual pacemaker?

Single chamber pacemakers typically target either the right atrium or right ventricle. 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.

How is a dual chamber pacemaker inserted?

It's carried out under general anaesthetic, which means you'll be asleep throughout the procedure. The surgeon will attach the tip of the pacing lead to your heart and the other end of the lead is attached to the pacemaker box. This is usually placed in a pocket created under the skin in your abdomen.

What is procedure code 33228?

The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33228 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures.

How do you code a temporary pacemaker in ICD 10?

Temporary pacemaker procedures are classified to 5A1213Z (intermittent) or 5A1223Z (continuous), plus the appropriate code for the lead insertion.

What is the SC modifier?

SC Medically necessary service or supply.

Why would someone need a dual chamber pacemaker?

A heart attack, high blood pressure, and other insults can reshape the heart in ways that derail the "beat now" signals that are vital to a healthy heartbeat. The two lower chambers, the right ventricle and left ventricle, should contract and relax together.

What is the advantage of a dual chamber pacemaker?

One of the potential benefits of dual-chamber pacing is the prevention of the pacemaker syndrome, a constellation of symptoms associated with ventricular pacing that is attributed primarily to asynchronous atrial and ventricular contraction.

Is a dual chamber pacemaker a defibrillator?

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.

How much is a dual chamber pacemaker?

Although dual-chamber pacemakers cost about $3,000 more than single-chamber devices (including the cost of implantation) during the first four years, the cumulative cost for a patient with a dual-chamber device was $27,441. The cumulative cost for someone with a single-chamber device was $26,760.

What is RV pacing?

Right ventricular (RV) pacing has been the standard practice for patients requiring permanent ventricular pacing. However, long-term RV apical pacing creates a non-physiologic activation pattern and may lead to worsened systolic and diastolic function in a subset of patients.1

What is a 3830 lead?

“Model 3830 lead is intended for pacing and sensing in the atrium or right ventricle. It is also intended for pacing and sensing at the bundle of His as an alternative to right ventricular pacing in a single or dual chamber pacing system.”2
