Total Artificial Heart Implantation

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 0051T

The failing pumping chambers of the person's own heart are removed and a complete mechanical replacement heart is implanted to take over pumping blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. It is major open-chest surgery for people whose own heart can no longer support them. External power and control equipment and close monitoring are needed afterwards.
