What 62360 covers
A surgeon, commonly a neurosurgeon or pain specialist, implants or replaces a nonprogrammable pump used for long-term medication delivery into the intrathecal or epidural space. The pump is generally placed beneath the skin and connected to a catheter that delivers medication near the spinal cord. This service is distinct from placing or replacing the catheter alone and is commonly performed in a facility setting for patients needing ongoing medication infusion.
Select this code when the implanted or replacement device is nonprogrammable; documentation should identify the device and support the pump procedure performed. Related postoperative visits are included for 10 days. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

62360 billing questions
How does 62360 differ from 62361 or 62362?
62360 is for implantation or replacement of a nonprogrammable pump. Use the applicable sibling code when the implanted pump is programmable.
Is catheter placement included in this pump service?
Pump implantation is distinct from implantation of the spinal catheter. When a catheter is separately placed, consider the catheter code based on the service performed and the applicable coding rules.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral placement?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in that session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
What documentation supports reporting 62360?
Document that the service was implantation or replacement of a nonprogrammable infusion pump, along with the device and the procedure performed. Documentation for assistant-at-surgery or co-surgeon services must support the applicable payment criteria.
