Can anyone show me or direct me to an example of how to bill permanent spinal cord stimulators to medicare for an ASC? I have only ever billed a trial to medicare and am aware that the L code(L8680) must be bundled into the procedure code(63650). Is this the case for the battery(rechargeable), pt programmer, & the recharger? Do I need to have a DME # to do this? My facility has never done a Medicare permanent as we didn't think it was profitable enough to off set the cost of the supplies, just trying to re-evaluate. Thanks in advance!
