What 61867 covers

A neurosurgeon places a neurostimulator electrode into a subcortical target through twist-drill or burr-hole access, using intraoperative microelectrode recording to help identify the intended target. The procedure is used for deep brain stimulation, including treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It is generally performed in a hospital operating room with stereotactic guidance.

Report this code for the unilateral electrode placement when intraoperative microelectrode recording is used; use 61863 when it is not. The additional-array code 61868 applies to each additional array. Document the target, side, approach, electrode array count, and use of recording. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For bilateral work, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. An assistant may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
