loop recorder

Does anyone know if a loop recorder placement is considered a surgical wound?

Comments

  • Yes, it is a surgical wound, same as an infusaport is.
    The loop recorder is an insertable cardiac monitor with a USB memory stick implanted just under the skin.
    Be sure to code the underlying cardiac condition too.
