Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 62305 covers

This service covers introducing contrast into the spinal fluid through a lumbar puncture and imaging two or more spinal regions to assess the spinal canal and nerve-root sleeves. A radiologist or other qualified physician typically performs and interprets the study in a hospital or imaging center. The service includes radiological supervision and interpretation of the myelogram; it is not an epidural steroid injection or a CT scan alone.

Select this code when the myelographic examination covers at least two spinal regions; use the corresponding single-region code when only one region is examined. Document the lumbar route, regions imaged, and interpretation. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
