2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z95.0. Presence of cardiac pacemaker. Z95.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
If a patient has a pacemaker is the complete AV block now history only, or still a codable diagnosis for an IP? I would still code the AV block because the pacemaker is not treating the AV block, it is treating the symptoms of the AV block which is still present even after the pacemaker is inserted.

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.

ICD-10 code I44. 2 for Atrioventricular block, complete is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Third degree AV block (I44. 2 Atrioventricular block, complete) – No supraventricular impulses are conducted to the ventricles.

Atrioventricular block, first degree I44. 0 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 I44. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Patient Education. Educate patients that third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (complete heart block) occurs when the electrical signal starting from the heart's upper chambers, the atria, cannot pass normally to the lower chambers, the ventricles.
Third-degree AV block indicates a complete loss of communication between the atria and the ventricles. Without appropriate conduction through the AV node, the SA node cannot act to control the heart rate, and cardiac output can be diminished secondary to loss of coordination of the atria and the ventricles.
ICD-10 code R47. 89 for Other speech disturbances is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

CPT® codes 33210 and 33211 describe insertion or replacement of temporary transvenous single and dual chamber respectively cardiac electrodes or pacemaker cath eters.
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33430 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Surgical Procedures on the Mitral Valve.
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.
CPT® Code 33213 in section: Insertion of pacemaker pulse generator only.

If a patient has AF with a slow ventricular response, a pacemaker is addressing the pauses or bradycardia, the resultant symptoms or the risk of a nine-second asystole – like my father had. It is not resolving or eradicating the atrial fibrillation. The AF is still present, underlying the paced rhythm. The bradycardia and pacemaker firing could also be only intermittent, like in my father’s situation. In his case, his post-discharge pacemaker check showed it was only operating 4 percent of the time. If the pacemaker were to malfunction or to be turned off, the observed rhythm would be AF in such a patient. They may even remain on anticoagulation or medication for rate control. AF is a valid diagnosis.
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.
What if a patient undergoes a successful maze procedure for AF, reverts to normal sinus rhythm, and stays in sinus? That would be curative. You could capture personal history codes, but the patient no longer has a current cardiac condition.
If a patient has an arthritic right hip and undergoes a hip replacement, after the surgery, they no longer have that arthritic hip, M16.11; they have a replaced hip joint, Z96.641. They may still have osteoarthritis elsewhere, but the arthritic hip has been eliminated.
If a patient has an episode of sudden cardiac arrest from which they are resuscitated, and has an AICD implanted, they would carry a diagnosis of Z86.74, Personal history of sudden cardiac arrest and Z95.810, Presence of automatic cardiac defibrillator. They are not in a persistent state of cardiac arrest; it is historical.
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.
