This is the doctors notes for the procedure and Dx: CPT-4 and ICD-10 codes for Spinal Cord Stimulator pulse generator (battery) replacement, for a diagnosis of Spinal cord stimulator malfunction, battery end of life and failed back surgery syndrome. - I believe that the CPT code should be 68635 but I'm not sure about the ICD codes.
Presence of neurostimulator Z96.82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96.82 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z96.82 - other international versions of ...
Encounter for adjustment and management of neuropacemaker (brain) (peripheral nerve) (spinal cord) Z45.42 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z45.42 became effective on October 1, 2018.
A battery change is not a malfunction of the stimulator so the T code would not be correct. The battery life for the devices is not indefinite and it isn't considered a malfunction or a failure of the device if the battery needs to be changed - it's routine maintenance (e.g. see Z45.010, which is used for cardiac pacemaker battery changes).
Z96. 82 - Presence of neurostimulator | ICD-10-CM.
Breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac pulse generator (battery), initial encounter. T82. 111A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T82.
The average battery life for rechargeable spinal cord stimulators is 7-10 years (compared to 2-5 years for non-rechargeable). Fewer replacements: Many people can go more than ten years before needing a replacement. This means people with a rechargeable battery undergo fewer replacement surgeries.
ICD-10-PCS Code 00PV0MZ - Removal of Neurostimulator Lead from Spinal Cord, Open Approach - Codify by AAPC.
CPT® 33249, Under Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33249 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Pacemaker or Implantable Defibrillator Procedures.
In this add–on procedure, the provider introduces an additional pacing electrode for left ventricular pacing through a vein and advances it to the left ventricle at the same time as he inserts an implantable defibrillator or pacemaker pulse generator.
Abstract. Objectives: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been used for almost 40 years to treat refractory neuropathic pain after failed back surgery. Fully implantable non-rechargeable pulse generators have a battery life of between 2 and 5 years.

Battery failure and/or battery leakage. Cerebrospinal fluid leak. Persistent pain at the electrode or stimulator site. A pocket of clear fluid (seroma) at the implant site.
CPT® codes 63685 (insertion or replacement of spinal neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver) and 63688 (revision or removal of implanted spinal neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver) are temporarily removed from the list of services that require Medicare prior authorization when performed in a hospital ...
What Is a Neurostimulator? Chronic Pain. An implantable neurostimulator is a surgically placed device about the size of a stopwatch. It delivers mild electrical signals to the epidural space near your spine through one or more thin wires, called leads.
An array defines the collection of contacts that are on one catheter. CPT codes 63655, 63662, and 63664 are for neurostimulator system placed via an open surgical exposure. The contacts are on a plate or paddle-shaped surface. Do not report CPT code 63661 when removing the percutaneous trial electrode (CPT code 63650).
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
VICC considers the correct code to assign for documentation of functional decline is R53 Malaise and fatigue following Index lead term Decline (general) (see also Debility) R53.
ICD-10 code R53. 82 for Chronic fatigue, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
E86ICD-10 code E86 for Volume depletion is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .

Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (SSA), §1862 (a) (1) (A), states that no Medicare payment shall be made for items or services that “are not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member.” CMS Manual System, Pub 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Chapter 1, §160.7, Electrical Nerve Stimulators..
The implantation of spinal cord stimulators (SCS) may be covered as therapies for the relief of chronic intractable pain. SCS is best suited for neuropathic pain but may have some limited value in other types of nociceptive severe, intractable pain.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96.82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
