Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 33211 covers

This service places or replaces temporary pacing electrodes through the venous system to support pacing in both the right atrium and right ventricle. Cardiologists and electrophysiologists commonly perform it in a hospital procedure room, catheterization laboratory, or other acute-care setting for symptomatic bradycardia or significant conduction block when temporary AV-sequential pacing is needed. The electrodes connect to an external pacing source rather than a permanently implanted pulse generator.

Choose this code when the documented temporary pacing setup uses dual-chamber electrodes; a single-chamber temporary setup is reported differently. The procedure note should support the temporary indication, electrode placement, and dual-chamber configuration. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
