What is pacemaker implant?

Placement of a small device under the skin of the chest that keeps the heartbeat from becoming too slow. The stay includes the implant procedure, heart rhythm monitoring, and a device check before discharge.

Pacemaker Implant is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 243 (with 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.
