Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for cardiac device implantation, analysis, and removal procedures.
CPT Code 0515T
CPT 0515T describes the insertion of a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing, including device interrogation and programming, imaging supervision and interpretation, and a complete system (including an electrode, generator, transmitter, and battery).
CPT Code 0516T
CPT 0516T describes the insertion of a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing, including device interrogation and programming, imaging supervision and interpretation, and electrode placement.
CPT Code 0517T
CPT 0517T describes the insertion of a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing, including device interrogation and programming, imaging supervision and interpretation, and the pulse generator component(s) (battery and/or transmitter) only.
CPT Code 0518T
CPT 0518T describes removing only the pulse generator component(s) (battery and/or transmitter) of a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing.
CPT Code 0519T
CPT 0519T describes removing and replacing a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing, including the pulse generator components such as the battery and/or transmitter.
CPT Code 0520T
CPT 0520T describes removing and replacing a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing, including the pulse generator component(s) (battery and/or transmitter) and the placement of a new electrode.
CPT Code 0521T
CPT 0521T describes an evaluation (in person) of an interrogation device with analysis, review, and report, including connection, recording, and disconnection per patient encounter, as well as a wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing.
CPT Code 0522T
CPT 0522T describes programming device evaluation (in person) with iterative adjustment of the implantable wireless cardiac stimulator for left ventricular pacing to test the device’s function and select optimal permanent programmed values with analysis, including review and report.
