1. Coding update and effective date

   Introduces the timing of the coding change and the shift in how the service is identified.

2. Procedure overview and clinical context

   Summarizes the general nature of the service and the type of setting in which it is performed.

3. Code revision details

   Describes the related title revision and indexing updates for a cardiac electrophysiology code.

4. Coding question and answer

   Presents the article’s direct coding guidance addressing how the service should be reported and notes that prior advice was superseded.
