What 62267 covers
A physician obtains material from a lumbar intervertebral disc by percutaneous needle access for diagnostic testing. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, and spine specialists may perform the procedure, commonly when imaging and clinical findings raise concern for disc-space infection and a specimen is needed for laboratory analysis. The aspirate may be submitted for culture and other indicated testing. This is sampling of the disc itself, not a lumbar puncture to collect cerebrospinal fluid or a procedure to decompress a herniated disc.
Report the service when the documented procedure is diagnostic aspiration of lumbar disc material. The record should identify the indication, level or levels treated, needle approach, and specimen obtained. The code covers single or multiple lumbar levels; document the levels rather than reporting a separate unit for each level. It has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and additional procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62267 billing questions
How is this different from lumbar discography?
This code is for obtaining disc material by aspiration for diagnostic testing. Lumbar discography injects contrast into a disc as part of a diagnostic imaging evaluation.
How is this different from percutaneous disc decompression?
Aspiration is reported for diagnostic sampling. Use the decompression code when the procedure reduces disc material to treat a symptomatic lumbar disc condition.
Can multiple lumbar levels be reported as separate units?
The code covers one or multiple lumbar levels. Document each level treated; do not bill a separate unit for each level.
What documentation supports reporting the service?
Document the diagnostic reason for sampling, the lumbar level or levels accessed, the percutaneous aspiration performed, and the specimen obtained for testing.
Is same-day postoperative care separately included?
No. The code has a 0-day global period, and same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
