Temporary Pacing Through the Skin

Iowa rates for HCPCS 92953

Adhesive pads placed on the chest deliver electrical pulses through the skin that drive the heart to beat at a set rate. It is an emergency measure used when the heart is beating dangerously slowly or has stopped conducting properly. It buys time until the natural rhythm recovers or a wire or implanted device can be arranged.
