What is pacemaker implant?

Placement of a small device under the skin of the chest that keeps the heartbeat steady, in patients who also have serious complicating conditions. The stay includes the procedure plus closer monitoring and treatment of those other problems.

Pacemaker Implant is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 242 (with major complications), classified within the Cardiovascular diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
