Wiki pacermaker check over 5 years

[dani5042]

Can any point me to documentation that states that pacemakers can be checked 1x a month if they are 5 years or older.

HI,

The best place to find the guidelines is @ the CMS website; cms.hhs.gov

Under TOP 10 LINKS


click on

1. Manuals
2. Paper-Based Manual
3. publication #6 - coverage issues manual

It will give you the guidelines for testing pacemakers. Also, check with your pacemaker reps and they should also have the guidelines.

Good luck,

Dolores, CCC-CPC
