Permanent Pacemaker With an Upper-Chamber Lead

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 33206

Implants a permanent pacemaker under the skin near the collarbone and threads its pacing wire through a vein into the upper chamber of the heart. Pacing the upper chamber keeps the heart rate from dropping too low when the heart's own natural pacemaker is unreliable. Both placing a new system and replacing an existing one are covered.
