Removal of a Leadless Pacemaker Capsule

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 33275

This procedure removes a small, self-contained pacemaker capsule that was implanted directly inside the heart, without any connecting wires. A catheter is guided into the heart to grasp and retrieve the capsule, without open-heart surgery. This differs from removing a wire (lead) connected to a traditional pacemaker or defibrillator.
