Hello, I'm writing this comment in the section I think is related to neuromodulation techniques. Does anyone know the procedure coding related to these physiological methods? My husband has just started being treated (by someone trained in neuromodulation, but has never coded her work), and I'm thinking that these treatments are somewhat therapy-related and naturopathy-related. Can anyone help me know where to learn more?

I was introduced to the concept many years ago when my husband's employer, Medtronic, pioneered a form of neuromodulation called deep brain stimulation to reduce the tremors of Parkinson's disease. Since then a number of other forms have been developed, some implantable devices, others used externally. Some examples include spinal cord stimulators and pain pumps.

Usually the technique is used by neurologists, neuroscientists and biomedical engineers. I am not familiar with use by naturopathy. Therapist and chiropractors some times use external TENS units.

Here are a couple of articles I found.

Can you explain more about what is meant by "coding"?
