CPT code 62362: Infusion pump implant, programmable pump2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $371.75 for 62362 nationally in a facility.

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

What 62362 covers

This service covers surgical implantation or replacement of a programmable pump for intrathecal or epidural medication delivery. A neurosurgeon, pain physician, or other qualified surgeon typically places the pump beneath the skin, commonly for chronic pain or severe spasticity requiring ongoing medication such as an opioid or baclofen. The pump can be programmed to control medication delivery over time. Pump preparation and filling are included when performed as part of the service.

Select this code when the implanted device is a programmable pump; the operative report should identify the pump and document implantation or replacement and the medication-delivery approach. The procedure has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment require supporting documentation of medical necessity, and team surgery is not permitted.
