Insertion of Implantable Heart Rhythm Monitor

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 33285

A small device is placed just under the skin of the chest to continuously record the heart's rhythm over an extended period, helping catch irregular heartbeats that occur infrequently or unpredictably. Unlike a pacemaker or defibrillator, this device only monitors and records — it does not deliver any electrical therapy to the heart.
