Deep Brain Stimulator Wire Placement

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 61867

Places a fine stimulating wire deep inside the brain through a small opening in the skull, using precise three-dimensional targeting to reach a structure only a few millimeters across. Tiny recording electrodes are used during the operation to listen to the electrical activity of brain cells and confirm the wire is exactly on target. The patient is often awake so responses can be checked as the target is found.
