Peri-procedural device evaluation (in person) and programming of device system parameters before or after a surgery, procedure or test with analysis, review and report, leadless pacemaker system

The CPT® Code 0390T refers to the peri-procedural evaluation and programming of a leadless pacemaker system. This procedure is essential for patients who have a leadless pacemaker and may need adjustments to their device settings before or after undergoing surgical interventions, medical tests, or other procedures. During this evaluation, electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes are strategically placed on the patient's chest and extremities to monitor the heart's electrical activity. These electrodes are then connected to a specialized computer equipped with software designed to download and display data from the pacemaker. The clinician conducts a thorough review and analysis of the downloaded information, which allows for the necessary adjustments to be made to the device's programmed parameters. Following this evaluation, a comprehensive written report detailing the findings and any modifications made to the leadless pacemaker system is provided. This process ensures that the device functions optimally, enhancing patient safety and the effectiveness of subsequent medical interventions.
