What 93152 covers
This service covers checking an implanted peripheral nerve stimulation system and changing its programmed settings while polysomnography is being performed. A typical setting is a sleep laboratory evaluating a patient with an implanted hypoglossal nerve stimulation system for obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep physician or other qualified clinician assesses the device’s response during the sleep study and adjusts stimulation parameters as needed; this is not simply a stand-alone device check.
Choose this code when both system interrogation and programming occur in the polysomnography setting. Use 93151 for interrogation and programming without the polysomnography circumstance, and 93153 when the system is interrogated without programming. Documentation should identify the implanted system, the interrogation performed, the programming changes, and the polysomnography context. CMS assigns physician work and practice-expense values, with separate practice-expense inputs for office and facility settings.
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.

93152 billing questions
How does 93152 differ from 93151?
93152 describes interrogation and programming performed with polysomnography. 93151 describes interrogation and programming without that circumstance.
Can 93152 be used when the device is only checked?
No. The service includes programming as well as interrogation. Use 93153 for interrogation without programming.
Does 93152 replace the polysomnography code?

What documentation supports reporting 93152?
Document the implanted system, the interrogation and programming performed, the settings changed, and that the work occurred in conjunction with polysomnography.
Is 93152 for activating a newly implanted system?
No. Therapy activation is described by 93150. 93152 is for interrogation and programming in the polysomnography setting.
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.
