CPT 33207: Permanent Pacemaker Insertion, Right Ventricular Lead
CPT code 33207 denotes the surgical insertion or replacement of a permanent pacemaker with implantation of one or more electrodes into the right ventricle. This code captures a common cardiac electrophysiology procedure used to treat bradyarrhythmias and conduction disorders by providing durable ventricular pacing. Nationally, pacemaker implantation is a high-impact procedure for inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular care, affecting hospital resource use, device supply chains, and payer coverage policies.
Key payers addressed in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of clinical context for CPT code 33207, typical sites of service, and which payers commonly reimburse the procedure. The publication outlines benchmark measures and payment considerations relevant to facilities and clinicians, and highlights recent policy updates affecting coding and coverage where applicable.
