What 62361 covers

This service covers the operative placement or replacement of an implanted pump that delivers medication into the spinal canal or epidural space. Pain specialists, neurosurgeons, and other qualified surgeons may perform it in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting for patients needing ongoing medication delivery, such as treatment for severe chronic pain or spasticity. The pump is placed under the skin and connected to the medication-delivery catheter; catheter work should be coded according to the work actually performed and the applicable CPT code.

Report the pump procedure supported by the operative record, including the indication, device implanted or replaced, medication-delivery route, and work on the pump and catheter. Related postoperative visits are included in the 10-day global period. 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 for this code. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment require supporting medical-necessity documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
