Neurostimulator programming
About 95982: Intraoperative gastric stimulator reprogramming
Intraoperative gastric neurostimulator analysis with subsequent reprogramming is reported when the implanted pulse generator is interrogated and its settings are changed during surgery.
During an operation involving an implanted gastric neurostimulator, the clinician interrogates the pulse generator and changes its programming after initial programming has already occurred. This service is associated with gastric electrical stimulation, commonly used for selected patients with refractory gastroparesis. The surgeon or another qualified clinician uses the programmer to review device function and adjust settings in the operating room; it is not routine clinic follow-up or programming of a brain stimulator.
Choose 95982 when the intraoperative service is subsequent and includes reprogramming, rather than initial programming or a subsequent intraoperative analysis without reprogramming. The operative report or device record should identify the gastric system, intraoperative interrogation, prior programming, changes made, and the reason for adjustment. CMS assigns physician work and practice-expense RVUs to the service. The billed service should reflect programming actually performed, not simply the device’s presence or a visual check.

95982 billing questions
How does 95982 differ from 95981?
95982 is for subsequent intraoperative analysis that includes reprogramming. Use 95981 for the subsequent intraoperative service without reprogramming.
When would 95980 be more appropriate?
95980 describes the initial intraoperative programming service. 95982 is for subsequent intraoperative reprogramming.
Does this code cover placement of the gastric stimulator?
No. It represents intraoperative interrogation and subsequent programming; it does not describe placement of the generator or leads.
What documentation supports 95982?
Document the gastric neurostimulator, the intraoperative interrogation, prior programming, the settings changed, and the clinical reason for the adjustment.
Can 95982 be used for routine office programming?
No. This code is for subsequent reprogramming performed intraoperatively. Routine non-intraoperative device analysis or programming is represented by other services, depending on the work performed.
