My provider wants to remove a SCS placed by another physician at the lumbar level and place a new SCS at the thoracic level. Per NCCI edits I cannot bill 63662 (removal) with 63655 (placement) during the same session (modifier not allowed). It is not a revision (63664) as they are putting a completely new SCS in the new location. Has anyone come across this before? Will I only be able to code for the placement/laminectomy of the new SCS?
Any help or references would be greatly appreciated, as I cannot find similar cases when searching.
Thanks!
