What 90867 covers
Code 90867 identifies the initial therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) session. The clinician maps a treatment target on the cerebral cortex, determines the motor threshold used to set stimulation intensity, and establishes the treatment plan as part of the initial treatment service. Psychiatrists and other clinicians providing TMS commonly report it in outpatient psychiatric care, often for major depressive disorder.
Under physician fee schedule status C, CMS publishes no national payment; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is barred, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted. Use 90868 for later treatment delivery and 90869 when motor threshold is re-determined during a subsequent treatment.
