Pain management
About 63610: Percutaneous spinal cord stimulation
Reports percutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, commonly used in neuromodulation care for selected patients with persistent neuropathic pain.
This service delivers electrical stimulation to the spinal cord through a percutaneous approach. It is used in neuromodulation care, often by an interventional pain physician or another physician experienced in spinal cord stimulation, to assess or provide stimulation for selected patients with persistent neuropathic pain. The service is distinct from surgically implanting an epidural electrode array or placing a permanent pulse generator.
Report the code for the spinal cord stimulation service itself, rather than for electrode-array implantation, revision, or generator work. The record should identify the indication, percutaneous stimulation performed, and relevant procedural details. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

63610 billing questions
How is this different from 63650?
63610 reports percutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord. Code 63650 reports percutaneous implantation of an epidural neurostimulator electrode array.
Is this the code for a permanent spinal cord stimulator implant?
No. This code represents spinal cord stimulation, not implantation of an electrode array or pulse generator. Use the applicable implantation code when those services are performed.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code, so modifier 50 should not be used.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple-procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.
What documentation supports assistant-at-surgery payment?
The record must document medical necessity for the assistant. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
Where these rates come from
