Implanting a Defibrillator Under the Skin

Vermont rates for HCPCS 33270

Places or replaces a defibrillator system that sits entirely under the skin, with the generator at the side of the chest and its sensing wire running beneath the skin alongside the breastbone. Nothing is threaded through veins or into the heart itself. Testing during the operation confirms that the device recognizes a dangerous rhythm and can deliver a shock.
