Article Guidance

Article Text

This First Coast Billing and Coding Article for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L36035 Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain provides billing and coding guidance for frequency limitations as well as diagnosis limitations that support diagnosis to procedure code automated denials. However, services performed for any given diagnosis must meet all of the indications and limitations stated in the LCD, the general requirements for medical necessity as stated in CMS payment policy manuals, any and all existing CMS national coverage determinations, and all Medicare payment rules.

Refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements and limitations.

The redetermination process may be utilized for consideration of services performed outside of the reasonable and necessary requirements in the LCD. 

Coding Guidelines

CPT codes 63650, 63655, and 63661-63664 describe the operative placement, revision, replacement, or removal of the spinal neurostimulator system components to provide spinal electrical stimulation.

CPT codes 63650, 63661, and 63663 describe a percutaneously placed neurostimulator system. The contacts are on a catheter-like lead. An array defines the collection of contacts that are on one catheter.

CPT codes 63655, 63662, and 63664 are for neurostimulator system placed via an open surgical exposure. The contacts are on a plate or paddle-shaped surface.

Do not report CPT code 63661 when removing the percutaneous trial electrode (CPT code 63650). The work of removing a temporary percutaneous lead array is valued within the code for the “initial” placement.

CPT code 63663 (revision of a percutaneously implanted system) would only be used if a previous permanent (internalized system) array of neurostimulator electrodes had been percutaneously placed, and is now being revised or replaced to improve efficacy.

CPT code 63650 is not altered when the implantation of the percutaneous epidural neurostimulator electrode is performed for the purpose of a "temporary" trial or for "permanent" neurostimulation. The difference between the two procedures is the attachment of the electrode array to an external stimulator unit for trial stimulation as opposed to connecting to an implanted pulse generator or receiver for permanent stimulation. Attachment to an external stimulator unit is considered inherent to the work represented by CPT code 63650. Therefore, it is not appropriate to report CPT code 63685.

CPT code 63685 would be reported in addition to CPT code 63650, for the insertion or replacement of the pulse generator or receiver. CPT code 63685 includes the creation of a subcutaneous pocket made to house the stimulator and tunneling of the electrodes to the pocket.

Append modifier 58, Staged or Related Procedure or Service by the Same Physician During the Postoperative Period, to permanent implant insertion (CPT codes 63650 or 63655) if performed during the postoperative period of the initial (temporary) percutaneous electrode insertion (CPT code 63650).

The fluoroscopic guidance (e.g., CPT codes 76000, 77003) is considered inherent in the performance of the percutaneous implantation of the neurostimulator electrode array in the epidural space, as represented by CPT code 63650. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to additionally report the fluoroscopic guidance used.

CPT code 95970 describes electronic analysis of a simple or complex brain, cranial nerve, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, or sacral nerve, neurostimulator pulse generator/transmitter, without programming. 

Notice: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier. 

Documentation Requirements

  1. All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
  2. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service[s]). The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient.
  3. The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s). The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed.
  4. The medical records must support the patient has chronic intractable pain unresponsive to adequate pain control and the rationale for proceeding to permanent implant. In addition, documentation should include the severity of pain experienced by the patient, previous treatments and their outcomes, as well as the patient’s neurological condition and general state of health.
  5. Documentation must include evidence to support a successful trial was performed with at least a 50% reduction of target pain, or 50% reduction of analgesic medications, and should show some element of functional improvement. 

Utilization Guidelines

In accordance with CMS Ruling 95-1 (V), utilization of these services should be consistent with locally acceptable standards of practice. 

Compliance with the provisions in LCD L36035, Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain may be monitored and addressed through post payment data analysis and subsequent medical review audits.
