Hi, I'm new to coding the spinal cord stimulators and just want to double check myself.
Our Doctor performed a trial stim, in the op note he states he inserted two octrode leads, I coded 63650 and 63650-59. I haven't submitted this for billing yet and want to be sure this is correct.
Thanks in advance for all responses,
Bella
 
respone to stim trial

What health carrier is it? If it is Medicare you do not use the 59 modifier. Otherwise, that is correct.
 
Hi,
We do a lot of trial placements and if 2 electrodes are being placed, then correct coding would be 63650 & 63650 51 (not 59)...:)
