Status cardiac pacemaker. Diagnosis Code V45.01. ICD-9: V45.01. Short Description: Status cardiac pacemaker.
When sick sinus syndrome is documented as well as a pacemaker, do you code the SSS or just the pacemaker. Thanks to anyone who can help. I code the pacemaker status as well, v4501 or v4509.
I code the pacemaker status as well, v4501 or v4509. I was recently told by my coding instructor that once a person has a pacemaker inserted, you NEVER code for SSS.
ICD-9-CM V45.01 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V45.01 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
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 .
V45. 01 - Cardiac pacemaker in situ. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10-CM is the diagnosis code set that will replace ICD-9-CM Volume 1 and 2. ICD-10-CM will be used to report diagnoses in all clinical settings.
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.

ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
The U.S. also uses ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification) for diagnostic coding. The main differences between ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10-CM include the following: ICD-10-PCS is used only for inpatient, hospital settings in the U.S., while ICD-10-CM is used in clinical and outpatient settings in the U.S.
Code set differences ICD-9-CM codes are very different than ICD-10-CM/PCS code sets: There are nearly 19 times as many procedure codes in ICD-10-PCS than in ICD-9-CM volume 3. There are nearly 5 times as many diagnosis codes in ICD-10-CM than in ICD-9-CM. ICD-10 has alphanumeric categories instead of numeric ones.
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.
The sinus node is sometimes called the heart's "natural pacemaker." Each time the sinus node generates a new electrical impulse; that impulse spreads out through the heart's upper chambers, called the right atrium and the left atrium (figure 2).
Overview. A pacemaker is a small device that's placed (implanted) in the chest to help control the heartbeat. It's used to prevent the heart from beating too slowly. Implanting a pacemaker in the chest requires a surgical procedure. A pacemaker is also called a cardiac pacing device.
The pacemaker is routinely evaluated to ensure the device is programmed accurately as well as to assess battery and lead function. Pacemaker settings may be reprogrammed, if required. Interrogation of the device can be done in the inpatient setting or in the office setting.
A code is not assigned for sick sinus syndrome when it is being controlled by the pacemaker and no problems are detected during the check. Interrogation is a routine check, which is done via computer to assess pacemaker function.
I was recently told by my coding instructor that once a person has a pacemaker inserted, you NEVER code for SSS.
For medically necessary pacemaker insertion in conditions not addressed by the NCD or this article, Group III, use modifier - SC (Medically necessary service or supply).
