Categorise as pacemaker > the 2nd code is ignored because they are part of ‘i.’ the ep list. Example 2: Coding is: 123451. Pacemaker system placement: dual chamber 130015. Insertable electrocardiogram (ECG) loop recorder (eg Reveal) removal Categorise as pacemaker > the 2nd code is ignored because they are excluded as part of the minor and excluded list Example 3: Coding is: 120043. Balloon dilation of systemic vein or pathway 123451. Pacemaker system placement: dual chamber 124475. Removal of implanted pacemaker lead Is not categorised as pacemaker because the 120043 is an intervention that is not diagnostic, ep or in the minor and excluded list.
