What 63663 covers

A surgeon revises an existing percutaneous electrode array used for spinal cord neuromodulation, repositioning or adjusting the lead and replacing it when needed. This work may be considered when a patient’s stimulation coverage changes or the array has shifted. Neurosurgeons and physicians specializing in pain procedures commonly perform the revision in an operating room or other procedural setting. Fluoroscopic guidance, when used, is included in the service.

Select this code for revision of a percutaneously placed array, not for removal alone, initial array placement, or revision of a surgically placed paddle array. The operative report should identify the existing array and describe the revision or replacement performed. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures occur 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 may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

63663 billing questions

When should 63663 be used instead of 63661?

Use 63663 when the percutaneous electrode array is revised or replaced. Use 63661 when the array is removed without revision.

How does 63663 differ from 63664?

63663 is for revision of a percutaneous electrode array. 63664 is for revision of a surgically placed paddle array.

Is fluoroscopic guidance separately reported?

Fluoroscopy used for the electrode-array revision is included in 63663.

Can modifier 50 be appended for bilateral work?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

What postoperative care is included?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in the session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
