What 62368 covers
A clinician uses the pump’s programmer to interrogate an implanted device that delivers medication into the intrathecal or epidural space, review its status, and change programmed infusion settings. Pain medicine specialists may use this service when adjusting intrathecal analgesia for chronic pain; physiatrists or other treating clinicians may adjust intrathecal baclofen delivery for spasticity. It is commonly performed during an outpatient visit when symptoms, treatment response, or medication effects prompt a change to the pump program.
Report 62368 when electronic analysis results in an actual programming change and the service does not include pump refill and maintenance. Record the device and indication, findings from the interrogation, the prior and revised settings, and the clinical reason for the adjustment. If analysis is performed without a setting change, consider 62367. When refill and maintenance are part of the service, select from the 62369–62370 family rather than reporting this analysis service for the same work. The Medicare physician fee schedule assigns work and practice-expense values to 62368.

How to choose
- 62367Pump analysis
- Use 62367 when electronic analysis does not change the programmed settings; 62368 requires reprogramming.
- 62369Pump management
- This code is for a refill-and-maintenance service with reprogramming, rather than analysis and reprogramming without refill.
- 62370Pump refill
- This code is also in the refill-and-maintenance family; use 62368 when the encounter involves reprogramming without refill and maintenance.
62368 billing questions
How does 62368 differ from 62367?
62368 includes an actual change to the pump’s programmed settings. Use 62367 when the pump is analyzed but no reprogramming is performed.
Does 62368 include a pump refill?
No. It covers analysis with reprogramming, not refill and maintenance. When the service includes refill and maintenance, use the applicable code from the 62369–62370 family.
What documentation supports 62368?
Document the implanted pump and treatment indication, interrogation findings, settings before and after the adjustment, and the clinical reason for changing the program.
Can 62368 be reported with 62369 or 62370 for the same pump service?
Do not report 62368 separately for programming work included in a refill-and-maintenance service. Choose the code that represents the service actually performed.
What clinical situations commonly lead to reprogramming?
Examples include adjusting intrathecal analgesia for chronic pain or baclofen delivery for spasticity in response to symptoms, treatment response, or medication effects.

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.
