Proposed rule 2026-01875
Providing a Minimum Evaluation for Bradycardia
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to revise diagnostic code (DC) 7009, Bradycardia (Bradyarrhythmia), to provide a minimum 10% evaluation after pacemaker implantation. This revision will allow VA to align DC 7009 with DC 7018, Implantable cardiac pacemakers. VA also proposes to remove Note (1) found under DC 7009.
