Coverage indications
We will maintain the current non-coverage policy. Medicare will not cover pacemaker implantation for either post MI patients with asymptomatic bradycardia who otherwise would be precluded from beta-blocker long-term drug therapy or post MI patients who are treated with beta-blockers and later develop asymptomatic bradycardia as a result of the treatment. Medicare will continue to cover pacemaker implantation in patients with symptomatic bradycardia whether iatrogenic or induced by required pharmacologic therapy.
