Generally, a pacemaker insertion follows this process:
You would be surprised to see the price ranges for this seemingly simple procedure. According to Healthcare Bluebook, the fair price of a pacemaker insertion is $ $26,128. According to them, the fair price is the cost that you should reasonably expect to pay for a medical service.
Pacemaker & ICD are two different devices. While pacemaker’s job is to treat slow heart rate, ICD’s job is to treat very fast chaotic heart rhythm. Pacemaker is used when patient’s heart rate drops to dangerously low levels.

CPT® 33249, Under Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33249 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures.
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered device placed in the chest to detect and stop irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). An ICD continuously monitors the heartbeat and delivers electric shocks, when needed, to restore a regular heart rhythm.
A pacemaker lead is defined as: an insulated wire connecting an electrode to a pulse generator. The electrode is an uninsulated termination of the lead which is in direct contact with the heart.

In this add–on procedure, the provider introduces an additional pacing electrode for left ventricular pacing through a vein and advances it to the left ventricle at the same time as he inserts an implantable defibrillator or pacemaker pulse generator.
Pacemaker codesLetter 1: chamber that is paced (A = atria, V = ventricles, D = dual-chamber).Letter 2: chamber that is sensed (A = atria, V = ventricles, D = dual-chamber, 0 = none).Letter 3: response to a sensed event (T = triggered, I = inhibited, D = dual - T and I, R = reverse).More items...•
The coding and billing guidelines only apply to those CPT codes for the initial insertion of cardiac pacemakers: 33206 Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial. 33207 ventricular. 33208 atrial and ventricular.
Dual Chamber Cardiac Pacemaker and Leads Next, a small incision was made into the skin and the leads were percutaneously passed into the right ventricle and right atrium. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 0JH606Z, Insertion of pacemaker generator. 02H63JZ, Insertion of device in atrium.
