About 64582: Open hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation
Open implantation of a hypoglossal nerve stimulation system for obstructive sleep apnea, including its stimulation array, respiratory sensing lead, and pulse generator.
A surgeon implants a stimulation lead at the hypoglossal nerve, a respiratory sensing lead, and a pulse generator, generally during an operating-room procedure for a patient selected for hypoglossal nerve stimulation to treat obstructive sleep apnea. System testing and programming performed during implantation, and imaging guidance when used, are part of the service. Otolaryngologists and surgeons specializing in sleep-disordered breathing commonly perform the operation.
Report this code for the initial open implantation of the system, not for later revision, replacement, or removal. The operative report should identify the implanted components and document the procedure performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. CMS pays a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

64582 billing questions
How does this differ from code 64583?
64582 describes the initial open implantation. Code 64583 is for revision or replacement of the hypoglossal nerve stimulation system.
Is the pulse generator separately reported?
The initial implantation service includes the pulse generator along with the nerve stimulation system. Do not separately report a generator implantation code for that same system placement.
What documentation supports the initial implantation?
The operative report should show that the hypoglossal nerve stimulation system was implanted and identify the components placed. It should distinguish initial implantation from revision, replacement, or removal.
What postoperative care is included?
CMS assigns a 90-day global period. It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
CMS allows assistant-at-surgery payment only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
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.
