Additional Info

Includes pacer defibrillator.

• Template:Discussion The title here indicates the insertion of a Defibrillator, then the bracketed section has "transcutaneous, epicardial leads". This title is poorly written and the category is confusing.
• The options are:
• 1. ICD (defibrillator implant);
• 2. Permanent Pacemaker ( done surgically);
• 3. Temporary pacemaker insertion ( done either with epicardial wires usually only seen in cardiac surgical patients OR transvenously for every other patient.
• 4. Transcutaneous pacing (which is done with external pads placed on the patient chest).

• Please clarify how we are to code each of the above options.

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition

• Pacemaker insertion, permanent
• a different code in Category:Therapeutic Procedure
