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

What 62350 covers

This service places, revises, or repositions a tunneled catheter in the intrathecal or epidural space for long-term medication delivery, such as drug infusion for chronic pain or spasticity. Anesthesia and pain specialists, neurosurgeons, and other qualified physicians may perform it in an operating room or another procedural setting. The catheter connects to an external pump or an implanted reservoir or infusion pump; this code describes catheter work, not implantation of the pump itself. Imaging guidance and interpretation, when performed, are included in the service.

Select this code when the tunneled catheter procedure is performed without laminectomy; use its sibling code when laminectomy is performed. Document the catheter route, the placement or revision performed, the long-term infusion purpose, and whether laminectomy was used. Related postoperative visits are included in the 10-day global period. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted, co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
