About 33262: Single-lead defibrillator generator exchange
Reports removal and replacement of an implantable defibrillator pulse generator when the existing system has a single lead.
This service covers an exchange of the pulse generator in an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) system while the system has a single lead. Electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons commonly perform it in a hospital or other surgical facility, often when the generator reaches elective replacement or has failed. The procedure addresses the generator; the single-lead designation identifies the system configuration, not a lead insertion or revision service.
Select this code when the operative report supports removal of the existing generator, placement of its replacement, and a single-lead system. The major-surgery global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. If other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

33262 billing questions
How is the single-lead code selected?
Use the documented lead configuration of the ICD system undergoing generator exchange. The operative report should establish that it is a single-lead system.
How does this differ from the two-lead code?
This code is for a single-lead system; 33263 is for a dual-lead system. The number of leads in the system, rather than the reason for exchange, distinguishes them.
Does this code include lead replacement or revision?
It reports the generator exchange in a single-lead system, not lead work by itself. Document any lead procedure performed separately and assess its reporting under the applicable coding rules.
What global period applies?
The service has a 90-day global period. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction, paid at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
