HCPCS 61886

Insertion or replacement of cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver, direct or inductive coupling; with connection to 2 or more electrode arrays

AI EXPLANATION: This surgical procedure involves implanting or replacing a small, battery-powered pulse generator for deep brain stimulation under the skin, typically near the collarbone, chest, or abdomen. The device is connected to two or more thin wire leads previously positioned in targeted regions of the brain. Once activated, the generator produces mild electrical impulses that help regulate abnormal signals associated with movement conditions and neurological disorders.
