Pacemaker Generator Replacement, Single Lead

Washington rates for HCPCS 33227

Replaces the pacemaker's pulse generator, the small battery-powered unit that sits under the skin near the collarbone, when its battery is running down. The old unit is taken out through the original scar and a new one is connected to the wire already running to the heart. This version covers a system that uses one wire.
