DRG insurance codes

If you are considering trying a DRG (Dorsal Root Ganglion) neuro-stimulator for relieveing your pudendal nerve pain, and are applying for insurance coverage,
the codes that my surgeon used may be helpful.

63650 implant neuro-electrodes
63685 implant neuro-receiver
77003 fluero-guidance
65090 implant leads
77002 needle localization with xray
95971 analyze impulses

My insurance was Medicare, with a Plan F copay, so I paid 0$ for the implant and the trial.

My surgeon is Dr. Jolene Smith at Pain Specialists of Iowa. She provided the codes in hope that it may help someone else.
