About 63662: Spinal stimulator paddle lead removal
Reports surgical removal of a spinal cord stimulator paddle lead placed through a laminotomy or laminectomy, rather than a percutaneous electrode array.
This service removes a paddle-shaped spinal cord stimulation lead that was placed through a laminotomy or laminectomy. A neurosurgeon or spine surgeon typically performs the operation in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting when the lead must be explanted, such as for device complications or a change in treatment. Fluoroscopy, when used, is included in the lead-removal service. This code describes paddle-lead removal, not removal of a percutaneous electrode array or the implanted pulse generator.
Choose the code based on the lead and original placement approach; document the lead type, surgical exposure, reason for removal, and work performed. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

63662 billing questions
How does this differ from 63661?
Use 63662 for a paddle lead placed through a laminotomy or laminectomy. Code 63661 describes removal of a percutaneous electrode array.
Is fluoroscopy separately reported?
Fluoroscopy performed for this lead removal is included in the service.
Can the generator removal also be reported?
Code 63662 covers the paddle lead, not the implanted pulse generator. Code 63688 describes generator or receiver-related revision or removal when that work is also performed; document each service.
What supports selection of this code?
Document that the removed lead is a paddle type, its placement through a laminotomy or laminectomy, the reason for removal, and the operative work performed.
Which payment rules affect this service?
It has a 90-day global period, and the standard multiple-procedure reduction applies when other procedures are performed in the same session. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed, co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
