Abstract
The viability of multidisciplinary movement disorder programs depends heavily on reimbursement for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. Procedures related to DBS include cranial lead insertion, generator placement, microelectrode recording, as well as lead or generator replacements or revisions. These procedures are tied to Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes with associated reimbursement rates maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Though not the sole factor in what is ultimately reimbursed to a facility, annual differences in pricing associated with CPT coding can reflect relative changes to reimbursement rates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends in Medicare reimbursement for DBS surgery from 2004-2021 when corrected for inflation.
