Neurostimulation
About 93151: Implanted peripheral neurostimulator interrogation and programming
Report this service when a clinician checks an implanted peripheral neurostimulator and programs its settings, such as during hypoglossal nerve stimulator follow-up.
A clinician uses the device programmer to review an implanted peripheral neurostimulator’s function and settings, then makes programming changes as needed. A familiar example is follow-up care for a hypoglossal nerve stimulator used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep medicine, otolaryngology, and other clinicians managing implanted stimulation devices may perform the service in an office or facility setting.
Choose this code when the encounter includes both device interrogation and programming. Documentation should identify the device, record the interrogation findings and settings, describe the programming changes, and explain their clinical purpose. Distinguish this work from initial therapy activation, interrogation during a polysomnography session, and interrogation without programming. CMS assigns work, practice expense, and malpractice RVUs; the practice expense input differs between office and facility settings.

How does 93151 differ from 93150?
93151 covers interrogation with programming. Use 93150 for therapy activation of the implanted peripheral neurostimulator.
Which code applies when programming occurs during a sleep study?
Use 93152 when interrogation and programming take place during polysomnography. Routine interrogation and programming outside that setting are reported with 93151.
What documentation supports reporting 93151?
Document the device, interrogation results, settings reviewed, programming changes, and the clinical reason for those changes.
Can 93151 be reported when settings are only reviewed?
No. If the device is interrogated but not programmed, 93153 is the related code for that service.
