When to Use
- Use T748 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system, specifically for a dual-chamber device.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed in a hospital setting where the physician is responsible for the surgical implantation component.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T748 in conjunction with single-chamber pacemaker codes like T747, which constitutes an unbundling error.
- Failing to include the appropriate diagnostic or procedural modifier if the implantation is performed as a revision or replacement rather than a primary insertion.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly documents the dual-chamber nature of the device to support the higher fee compared to single-chamber alternatives.
