Neurosurgery
About 61880: Intracranial neuroelectrode revision or removal
Neurosurgeons report this service when an implanted intracranial stimulation lead is surgically repositioned or removed, rather than when a new lead is implanted.
A neurosurgeon uses this service for operative work on an existing intracranial stimulation electrode, such as a deep brain stimulation lead used to treat a movement disorder. The procedure may revise the lead’s position or remove it, for example when an implanted lead has migrated or needs to be explanted. It is generally performed in a hospital operating room, with the operative report identifying the electrode and the work performed.
Report the service for revision or removal of the intracranial electrode, not for implantation of a new lead or work limited to a pulse generator or receiver. The record should establish which lead was treated and whether it was repositioned or removed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

61880 billing questions
How is this different from implanting a new intracranial lead?
Use this code for operative revision or removal of an existing intracranial stimulation electrode. Codes such as 61863 or 61867 describe new electrode implantation in their respective circumstances.
Does this code cover work on the pulse generator or receiver?
No. This service concerns the intracranial electrode; code 61888 describes revision or removal of a neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
The operative report should identify the intracranial electrode and describe whether the surgeon revised its position or removed it. Documenting only generator or receiver work does not support this electrode service.
How does Medicare treat multiple procedures performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are paid at 50%. The code also has a 90-day global period that includes related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery claim be used?
For a bilateral procedure, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation.
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.
