Surgical Removal Of Pacemaker On The Heart Surface

New Hampshire rates for HCPCS 33237

Removal of a permanent pacemaker system whose wires are attached to the outer surface of the heart rather than threaded through a vein.

It is done for infection, for a device that no longer works, or when the system is no longer needed.
