Targeted Destruction Of A Facial Nerve Center

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 61790

Uses imaging guidance to pass a needle through the cheek to a nerve center deep at the base of the skull that carries sensation from the face, then destroys part of it with heat, chemical, or electrical energy. Interrupting the nerve signal relieves severe, shock-like facial pain that has not responded to medicine. No open incision is made.
