CPT 0892T: Accelerated FC MRI‑Guided Theta‑Burst Stimulation

CPT code 0892T describes a treatment-day service for an accelerated, repetitive high‑dose functional connectivity MRI–guided theta‑burst stimulation procedure in which the provider uses neuronavigation, redetermines the motor threshold, delivers the noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, and manages the patient; service type: therapeutic neuromodulation session; typical site of service: outpatient neuromodulation or radiology suite within an ambulatory clinic or hospital outpatient department.

Clinical & Coding Specifications

Clinical Context

A 36-year-old patient with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder presents for an accelerated, repetitive high–dose functional connectivity MRI–guided theta–burst stimulation (TBS) treatment course. The patient has failed at least two adequate antidepressant trials and prior standard transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) produced incomplete response. Pre-procedure workflow includes review of prior imaging and medications, screening for TMS contraindications (e.g., implanted electronic devices, active seizure disorder), informed consent, and planning using functional connectivity MRI to localize the individualized target. On the treatment day the provider re-determines the motor threshold using neuronavigation, documents threshold and stimulation parameters, delivers the accelerated high-dose TBS session, monitors the patient during and immediately after treatment for adverse effects (headache, scalp discomfort, rare seizure), and provides post-treatment instructions and scheduling for subsequent sessions. Typical site of service is an outpatient specialty clinic within a hospital or freestanding TMS center with MRI-guided neuronavigation capability.
