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

What 64590 covers

This service places or replaces the implanted power unit that drives a peripheral, sacral, or gastric neurostimulator. The surgeon or other qualified proceduralist typically creates or reopens a pocket, positions the generator or receiver, and connects it to the implanted electrode array. Examples include generator replacement for a patient receiving sacral neuromodulation for urinary or bowel symptoms, or for gastric stimulation for gastroparesis. The work is commonly performed in an operating room or procedure facility; the generator procedure is distinct from placing or revising the nerve electrode.

Report this code when the implanted generator or receiver is inserted or replaced, not for lead work alone. The operative report should identify the device, the reason for insertion or replacement, the pocket and connection work, and any electrode-array procedure performed. Medicare includes related postoperative visits for 10 days. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery billing is not permitted.
