Q: We continue to have problems with our claims hanging up in the edits when we report CPT® code 33249 (insertion or replacement of permanent pacing cardioverter-defibrillator system with transvenous lead(s), single or dual chamber) for the cardioverter-defibrillator and HCPCS code C1882 (cardioverter-defibrillator, other than single or dual chamber [implantable]) for the lead. Is there any word on when CMS will resolve this problem?
