Question:

Patient with an extravascular ICD (new code set 0571T-0614T) presents for relocation and DFT testing. The extravascular ICD was relocated to a sub-serratus position. "Further dissection was performed to achieve space in the sub-serratus position where the generator was relocated to. Positioning was confirmed on lateral fluoroscopy and was also more posterior than the original placement." DFT testing was also performed. Please advise on appropriate coding for this case. Would you suggest an unlisted code?
