The exact cost of a DBS surgery depends on a number of factors, including where you live, what other medical issues you have, and what complications you develop.
In this older study, the cost was estimated at roughly $162,000 in the initial DBS procedure and within 5 years afterward. Other research estimates the DBS cost being around $135,000.
Medicare has also covered certain DBS procedures since 2003.
Check with your individual health insurance provider or public health agency before your surgery to confirm coverage.
