Cardiac device procedure
About 33226: Reposition previously placed left ventricular lead
Report 33226 when a previously implanted transvenous left ventricular pacing lead is repositioned to correct its location in a cardiac resynchronization system.
An electrophysiologist or other cardiac-device implanting specialist repositions a transvenous lead used for left ventricular pacing, commonly in a cardiac resynchronization therapy system. The lead may need adjustment when its position has shifted or is not providing the intended pacing. The work is typically performed in a hospital electrophysiology or cardiac catheterization lab, with imaging used to guide lead manipulation.
Report 33226 for repositioning an existing left ventricular lead, rather than placing a new LV lead or repositioning a different pacing or defibrillator lead. The procedure note should identify the previously placed LV lead, the reason for revision, the repositioning performed, and its final position. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
