CPT® Code 0789T

Electronic analysis with complex programming of implanted integrated neurostimulation system (eg, electrode array and receiver), including contact group(s), amplitude, pulse width, frequency (Hz), on/off cycling, burst, dose lockout, patient-selectable parameters, responsive neurostimulation, detection algorithms, closed-loop parameters, and passive parameters, when performed by physician or other qualified health care professional, spinal cord or sacral nerve, 4 or more parameters

The CPT® Code 0789T refers to the electronic analysis and complex programming of an implanted integrated neurostimulation system, specifically targeting the spinal cord or sacral nerves. This procedure involves a comprehensive evaluation of the neurostimulation system, which includes various components such as an electrode array and a receiver. During the analysis, the healthcare professional utilizes the patient's handheld remote control to assess and modify multiple parameters of the neurostimulation system. The procedure is designed to optimize the device's performance by adjusting settings that influence the stimulation delivered to the nerves. Key parameters that may be adjusted include contact groups, amplitude, pulse width, frequency (measured in Hertz), on/off cycling, burst patterns, dose lockout settings, and patient-selectable parameters. Additionally, the procedure may involve the use of responsive neurostimulation, detection algorithms, closed-loop parameters, and passive parameters. This complex programming is performed by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional and is specifically applicable when four or more parameters are being evaluated and modified to enhance patient outcomes.
