Moving A Diaphragm Stimulator's Battery Unit

Alaska rates for HCPCS 0681T

Surgery to move the battery-and-electronics unit of a diaphragm stimulation system — a therapy that stimulates that muscle to improve the pumping of a failing heart — from its existing pocket under the skin into a new one. The unit is disconnected as needed, a new pocket is made, and the unit is reconnected to the leads already on the muscle.
