Pacemaker Implantation in Florida: What to Know
Florida offers advanced pacemaker implantation, with facilities like Delray Medical Center leading the way as the first in South Florida to offer the AVEIR™ DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system since April 2024. HCA Florida Largo Hospital pioneered the implant of this system on the west coast outside of clinical trials. UF Health Jacksonville provides an innovative Bluetooth micro-pacemaker, and AdventHealth Cardiovascular Institute in Orlando boasts extensive experience, having the largest MitraClip® program by volume in Florida.
For potentially lower costs, consider Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) in Florida for eligible pacemaker implantation. These offer a more cost-effective alternative to traditional hospitals. Patients can generally travel safely, including by air, but should carry their pacemaker identification card. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
