Implantable rechargeable neurostimulator with pulse generator and electrodes combined in a single integrated unit

This code describes an integrated, rechargeable neurostimulator designed for permanent implantation within the body. This device is a single unit containing both the pulse generator and the electrodes, used to deliver electrical impulses to specific nerves or areas of the brain or spinal cord for therapeutic purposes. It is typically employed for chronic pain management, movement disorders, or other neurological conditions.

Use this code when billing for the supply of a fully implantable, rechargeable neurostimulator system where the pulse generator and lead(s) are integrated into a single device. This applies to initial implantation procedures or replacement of the entire integrated system. Documentation should clearly specify the type of neurostimulator, its integrated design, and its rechargeable nature.

• Do not use this code for non-integrated systems where the pulse generator and leads are billed separately.
• Distinguish carefully from external or non-rechargeable neurostimulators; this code is specifically for integrated, implantable, and rechargeable devices.
• Ensure documentation specifies "integrated" and "rechargeable" to support the use of this specific HCPCS code.
