Placing a Nerve Stimulator Generator

California rates for HCPCS 64590

Placement or replacement of the small implanted generator that powers a nerve stimulator. It is put into a pocket made under the skin through a short incision and connected to leads already sitting near the nerve, and it sends mild electrical pulses that change how the nerve signals. It is used for problems such as bladder control and long-standing pain, and a worn-out generator is swapped for a new one the same way.
