Implantation of a Small Heart Rhythm Monitor
Maine rates for HCPCS 33282
This covers the surgical placement of a small device just under the skin of the chest that continuously monitors and records the heart's rhythm over an extended period, often months. It is used to catch infrequent or unpredictable heart rhythm problems, such as episodes of fainting or a racing heartbeat, that a short-term monitor might miss. The device is placed through a small incision in a brief outpatient procedure.
