What 61735 covers

This service is stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of a deep intracranial target to manage a movement disorder. A functional neurosurgeon typically performs it in an operating room, using stereotactic equipment to guide treatment. Clinical contexts may include selected patients with tremor, Parkinson disease, or dystonia when an ablative approach is chosen. The code represents a unilateral procedure; document the treated side and target, the movement disorder being addressed, and the operative technique.

Report this code when the surgeon performs the described intracranial lesioning, rather than implanting stimulation electrodes or using focused ultrasound. It has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is barred; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
