As a certified cardiology coder (CPC) with 12+ years of experience, I’ve seen countless claims denied for simple coding errors—like using outdated CPT codes or missing modifiers. Cardioversion coding is tricky, but with this guide, you’ll master the 2025 codes, avoid denials, and ensure compliance. Let’s break it down!
Cardioversion restores a normal heart rhythm using electricity (electrical) or medications (chemical). Proper coding depends on:
Example: A patient with atrial fibrillation (AFib) underwent synchronized electrical cardioversion with anesthesia.
A claim for synchronized cardioversion with anesthesia was denied because the coder forgot +92953. Adding the add-on code fixed it!

In summary, correct coding for cardioversion and defibrillation methods is essential for correct reimbursement and to keep proper documentation of the patient’s clinical file. By expertise in the unique forms of cardioversions, defibrillation, and their associated CPT codes, healthcare carriers can ensure that they’re efficaciously coding and billing for these procedures.
