Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 61892 covers

This service removes the pulse generator or receiver of a cranial neurostimulation system that is mounted to the skull. A neurosurgeon typically performs the operation in a hospital or other surgical facility, exposing the implanted device and removing it from its cranial attachment. The code identifies removal of the generator or receiver, rather than removal of an intracranial electrode alone.

Select 61892 when the operative report supports removal of the skull-mounted device; revision or replacement is a different service. Documentation should identify the device and describe its removal. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
