0621 - Seq# 14729 | Primary Tachycardia Indication Present

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the case scenario for June focuses on an EP (electrophysiology) device implantation. A 73-year-old female with a history of heart failure and atrial fibrillation requires a CRTP (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Defibrillator) device insertion. The question is about the coding for sequence 14729, which represents the primary indication for tachycardia. The answer is number 3, where the data element is left blank. In order for sequence 14729 to be selected, the final device type (sequence 7025) should be coded as CRTD, ICD dual-chamber, ICD single-chamber, or sub-q ICD. For patients receiving an ICD with primary indications for ventricular tachycardia, "yes" is coded for sequence 14729. This case scenario belongs to the EP device implant registry for June 2021.
