What 62321 covers

Anesthesiologists, interventional pain physicians, and other qualified clinicians use this service to deliver medication through an interlaminar approach in the cervical or thoracic spine. A common clinical situation is treatment of cervical radicular pain with an epidural steroid injection. Fluoroscopy or CT guides needle placement. The service covers an injection, rather than placement of an indwelling catheter for ongoing infusion.

Select the code based on the spinal region, interlaminar approach, use of imaging, and whether medication is delivered through a catheter. Documentation should identify the treated level, approach, imaging guidance, indication, and injected substance. Imaging guidance is included in this code. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
