CPT Codes For Neurostimulators (Intracranial) Procedures On The Skull, Meninges, And Brain
Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for neurostimulator (intracranial) procedures on the skull, meninges, and brain.
CPT Code 61850
CPT 61850 describes the implantation of cortical neurostimulator electrodes using a twist drill or burr hole(s).
CPT Code 61860
CPT 61860 describes a craniectomy or craniotomy to implant neurostimulator electrodes in the cerebral cortex.
CPT Code 61863
CPT 61863 describes the twist drill, burr hole, craniotomy, or craniectomy with stereotactic implantation of a neurostimulator electrode array in a subcortical site (e.g., thalamus, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, periventricular, periaqueductal gray), without the use of intraoperative microelectrode recording, for the first array.
CPT Code 61867
CPT 61867 describes the use of a twist drill, burr hole, craniotomy, or craniectomy with stereotactic implantation of a neurostimulator electrode array in a subcortical site (e.g., thalamus, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, periventricular, periaqueductal gray), with the use of intraoperative microelectrode recording for the first array.
CPT Code 61880
CPT 61880 describes the revision or removal of intracranial neurostimulator electrodes.
CPT Code 61885
CPT 61885 describes inserting or replacing a cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver with direct or inductive coupling and connection to a single electrode array.
CPT Code 61886
CPT 61886 describes inserting or replacing a cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver with direct or inductive coupling and connection to two or more electrode arrays.
CPT Code 61888
CPT 61888 describes the revision or removal of a cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver.
