What 62270 covers
A clinician places a needle into the lumbar subarachnoid space to obtain cerebrospinal fluid for testing or to measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Neurologists, emergency physicians, hospitalists, and other qualified practitioners commonly perform the procedure in an office, emergency department, or hospital. Typical indications include evaluation for meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, inflammatory disease, or disorders involving raised intracranial pressure.
Choose this code for a diagnostic lumbar puncture without fluoroscopic or CT guidance. Use the documented reason for the procedure, lumbar access, and diagnostic purpose to support the claim; fluid tubes or laboratory tests do not represent additional punctures. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies its standard reduction to the others. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62270 billing questions
How does this differ from code 62328?
Use 62270 for a diagnostic lumbar puncture without fluoroscopic or CT guidance. Code 62328 is for a diagnostic lumbar puncture performed with fluoroscopic or CT guidance.
When should 62272 be reported instead?
Use 62272 when the purpose is therapeutic drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. Code 62270 represents a diagnostic puncture, such as obtaining fluid for evaluation or measuring pressure.
Can each cerebrospinal fluid tube be billed as a separate unit?
No. Multiple collection tubes from one lumbar puncture do not represent multiple punctures. Report laboratory testing separately when those tests are performed.
Should modifier 50 be used for bilateral lumbar punctures?
No. Medicare's bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How does Medicare handle this with another procedure in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces payment for the other procedures. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in this code's 0-day global period.
What documentation supports reporting 62270?
Document the diagnostic indication, lumbar access, and the procedure performed, including fluid collection or pressure measurement when applicable. The record should distinguish diagnostic evaluation from therapeutic drainage.
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.
