Neurostimulation
About 93145: In-person cranial neurostimulator interrogation
In-person interrogation of a cranial responsive therapy device without programming, used to review device status and stored information during a specialist visit.
This service is an in-person review of a cranial responsive therapy device (CRTD) without changing its settings. A neurologist or other clinician managing the implanted system may perform it during follow-up for a patient receiving cranial neurostimulation, such as treatment for epilepsy. The review may include device status and available stored information; it does not include programming adjustments.
Report this code when the encounter includes the specified in-person interrogation and no programming. The device record should identify the system and document the interrogation performed and its findings. If settings are changed as part of the encounter, distinguish that work from an interrogation without programming and consider the applicable programming code. The CMS facts supplied for this code list no payment rules; they do not specify a global period, component split, or payment reduction for this service.
