Leadless Pacemaker Placement or Exchange

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 33274

Implants a self-contained pacemaker roughly the size of a large capsule directly inside the lower right chamber of the heart. It is delivered through a catheter from a vein in the groin, so there are no wires running through the chest and no bump under the skin. Imaging guidance and testing of the device are included, and it also covers replacing a unit already in place.
