Implanting A Breathing Stimulator Generator

California rates for HCPCS 0427T

The battery-powered generator of an implanted system for central sleep apnea is placed or replaced in a pocket under the skin of the upper chest. The generator drives the stimulation that prompts a breath when the brain fails to signal one, working through leads that are already in place. Only the generator is handled here, and the existing leads are connected to it.
