After a successful temporary trial of sacral electrode array implantation, a patient undergoes placement of a permanent sacral nerve neurostimulator electrode array and implantable pulse generator (IPG) placement for long-term benefit. Code 64561 (REVISED IN 2012, 2013) was reported for the temporary neurostimulator electrode placement. May codes 64581 (REVISED IN 2012) and 64590 be reported for placement of the permanent neurostimulator electrode array and implantation of the pulse generator?
