Reporting Integrated Neurostimulator Systems (0908T-0912T)

October 2025 page 12 Reporting Integrated Neurostimulator Systems (0908T-0912T) For the CPT 2025 code set, five new Category III codes (0908T-0912T) were established to report integrated neurostimulator systems. Although there were existing codes to report the implantation of generators, and both percutaneous and open implantation of neurostimulator electrodes for cranial nerve stimulation before 2025, there were no specific codes available to report open implantation (0908T), replacement (0909T), removal (0910T), and electronic analysis (0911T) with reprogramming (0912T) of integrated neurostimulator systems for vagus nerve stimulation. The establishment of these new codes necessitated the addition of parenthetical notes throughout the CPT...
