About 62362: Programmable spinal infusion pump implantation
Reports implantation or replacement of a programmable pump that delivers medication into the intrathecal or epidural space for ongoing treatment.
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.

62362 billing questions
How does this differ from 62361?
Use 62362 for the programmable pump configuration. Code 62361 represents a different pump implantation option; check the device configuration against the applicable code descriptor.
Is pump filling reported separately at implantation?
Pump preparation and filling are included when performed as part of this implantation or replacement service.
Can the spinal catheter be reported separately?
A distinct catheter implantation service may be separately reportable when performed and documented. The operative note should identify the catheter work in addition to the pump procedure.
Should modifier 50 be appended for a pump on each side?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code, and modifier 50 should not be used.
Are postoperative visits included?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.
When may an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeon payment also requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
