While both the ICD and pacemaker deal with matters of the heart, they have different functions. Pacemakers have a more regular function; they are now what make the heart beat normally because our own muscles cannot do that anymore.

Z95.0Z95. 0 - Presence of cardiac pacemaker | ICD-10-CM.
The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 0JH606Z, Insertion of pacemaker generator.
V45. 01 - Cardiac pacemaker in situ. ICD-10-CM.
Encounter for adjustment and management of cardiac pacemaker ICD-10-CM Z45. 018 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 314 Other circulatory system diagnoses with mcc.
When coding insertion of a temporary pacemaker (ventricular) in PCS (5A1213Z or 5A1223Z) there is no prompt to code also the lead. However, according to the Coding Handbook Chapter 27- Cardiac Pacemaker Therapy, there is a directive to, “plus the appropriate code for the lead insertion”.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
If you need to have a pacemaker fitted, a small electrical device called a pacemaker will be surgically implanted in your chest. The pacemaker sends electrical pulses to your heart to keep it beating regularly and not too slowly.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) An ICD works to control the heartbeat by delivering shocks to the heart when the device detects an irregular heartbeat.
Z95.810ICD-10-CM Code for Presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator Z95. 810.
Insertion of Pacemaker, Dual Chamber into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach. ICD-10-PCS 0JH606Z is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
33206The 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.

The replacement of a battery or pulse generator requires two codes, one for the removal and another for the insertion. You'd pick 33212 or 33213, depending on whether it's a single or dual chamber, and 33233.
V53.31 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of fitting and adjustment of cardiac pacemaker. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
A pacemaker helps control abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. It can speed up a slow heart rhythm, control a fast heart rhythm, and coordinate the chambers of the heart.
An ICD monitors heart rhythms. If it senses dangerous rhythms, it delivers shocks. This treatment is called defibrillation. An ICD can help control life-threatening arrhythmias, especially those that can cause sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Most new ICDs can act as both a pacemaker and a defibrillator. Many ICDs also record the heart's electrical patterns when there is an abnormal heartbeat. This can help the doctor plan future treatment.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
7th Characters - Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
An arrhythmia is any disorder of your heart rate or rhythm. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Most arrhythmias result from problems in the electrical system of the heart. If your arrhythmia is serious, you may need a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). They are devices that are implanted in your chest or abdomen.

This can help the doctor plan future treatment. Getting a pacemaker or ICD requires minor surgery. You usually need to stay in the hospital for a day or two, so your doctor can make sure that the device is working well.
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
This treatment is called defibrillation. An ICD can help control life-threatening arrhythmias, especially those that can cause sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Most new ICDs can act as both a pacemaker and a defibrillator. Many ICDs also record the heart's electrical patterns when there is an abnormal heartbeat.
