CPT Codes For Stereotaxis Procedures On The Skull, Meninges, And Brain

Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for stereotaxis procedures on the skull, meninges, and brain.

CPT Code 61720

CPT 61720 describes the creation of a lesion in the globus pallidus or thalamus through a stereotactic method, including burr hole(s) and localizing and recording techniques, in either a single or multiple stages.

CPT Code 61735

CPT 61735 describes the creation of a lesion through a stereotactic method, including burr hole(s) and localizing and recording techniques, single or multiple stages, in subcortical structures other than the globus pallidus or thalamus.

CPT Code 61736

CPT 61736 describes the laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) of a single intracranial lesion, including burr hole(s), with magnetic resonance imaging guidance when performed in a single trajectory.

CPT Code 61737

CPT 61737 describes Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) of lesion, intracranial, including burr hole(s), with magnetic resonance imaging guidance, when performed, with multiple trajectories for multiple or complex lesion(s).

CPT Code 61750

CPT 61750 describes the excision of an intracranial lesion, including burr hole(s), through stereotactic biopsy or aspiration.

CPT Code 61751

CPT 61751 describes using computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance guidance for stereotactic biopsy, aspiration, or excision, including burr hole(s), for an intracranial lesion.

CPT Code 61760

CPT 61760 describes the stereotactic implantation of depth electrodes into the cerebrum for long-term seizure monitoring.

CPT Code 61770

CPT 61770 describes the placement of radiation source through stereotactic localization, including burr hole(s), with insertion of a catheter(s) or probe(s).

CPT Code 61790

CPT 61790 describes the percutaneous creation of a lesion in the gasserian ganglion using a neurolytic agent such as alcohol, thermal, electrical, or radiofrequency.

CPT Code 61791

CPT 61791 describes the percutaneous creation of a lesion by a neurolytic agent such as alcohol, thermal, electrical, or radiofrequency in the trigeminal medullary tract.
