What 62325 covers
This service places a catheter into the cervical or thoracic epidural or subarachnoid space under imaging guidance and delivers a diagnostic or therapeutic solution by continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. The injected medication may include an anesthetic, opioid, steroid, or other non-neurolytic substance. Anesthesiologists and pain medicine physicians commonly perform it in a hospital or outpatient procedural setting for situations such as regional analgesia or treatment of spinal pain.
Choose this code when the service includes indwelling catheter placement and image-guided medication delivery; a single injection without an indwelling catheter is reported with a different code. Documentation should identify the cervical or thoracic level, catheter placement, medication delivery method, and imaging guidance. The service has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62325 billing questions
How is this different from 62321?
62325 describes cervical or thoracic medication delivery using an indwelling catheter for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. Use 62321 for the corresponding service without indwelling catheter placement.
Is imaging guidance included?
Yes. This code represents the catheter injection service with imaging guidance; do not separately report imaging guidance for the same service.
Can the code be used for a lumbar or sacral catheter injection?
No. This code is for the cervical or thoracic region. The corresponding image-guided catheter service for the lumbar or sacral region is 62327.
Does the code include the same-day postoperative care?
Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
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.
