*AG --- I completely agree with you, but weirdly, there IS NO CCI CODE for adjustment of a pacer or defibrillator. I looked and looked. They must have just missed it. So our choices are: (a) leave it as it, (b) remove this ICD10 code [which won't be so bad, because this is a pretty minor procedure anyway], or (c) keep it but include it "as if" it were a CCI picklist item, i.e. it shows up like that to the collectors, though it goes into the right place as an ICD10 code. TINA and TRISH -- what do you think? | *AG --- I completely agree with you, but weirdly, there IS NO CCI CODE for adjustment of a pacer or defibrillator. I looked and looked.

** option (c) would require a bunch of special purpose coding, more than I think it would provide value. Will email Trish and Julie with link to get their thoughts. If we can't resolve it this way it will go to task, I already tagged it for that. I prefer option (a) + making sure that the wiki pages are as well cross-linked as possible, noting this weird special case. | ** option (c) would require a bunch of special purpose coding, more than I think it would provide value.

** I prefer option (a) - Besides the CCI counterpart did not mention adjustment/management but only insertion. --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 10:55, 2018 December 20 (CST) | ** I prefer option (a) - Besides the CCI counterpart did not mention adjustment/management but only insertion. --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 10:55, 2018 December 20 (CST) | ||
