HCGTV: Webinar - Pacemaker and Defibrillator Relationship Status

[@ActionFactionBlox]

Very good teaching video

[@tinarico9395]

This is a wonderful presentation. I'm glad I found this. I have a question we are getting denial on 33228 removal with replacement of dual chamber PM. They are asking for KX modifier? I thought it only applies to insertion of PM system 33206, 33207 and 33208. Is there a new CMS guidelines for KX modifier?

[@HCGTVHaugenConsultingGroup]

Hi Tina - The KX modifier is to be reported in addition to the codes for insertion of pacemaker (33206, 33207, and 33208). Haugen Academy recommends consulting the local coverage article (LCA) addressing pacemakers for your jurisdiction. If your denials are not following the LCA, we recommend contacting your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to see if they have an unpublished policy update.

@@HCGTVHaugenConsultingGroup sorry just saw your reply, but I was just referring to what the presenter stated that she had a PM code instead of the ICD on the slide .. that's all i was pointing out. :) this is my second time watching because the explanation is great! so overall is a great video! 🤗 thanks!!
