Pain management
About 62264: Single-day epidural adhesiolysis
A single-day percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis session uses catheter-based disruption and injectate delivery to address selected epidural scarring associated with persistent spinal pain.
This procedure treats epidural adhesions that may contribute to persistent back or radiating leg pain. A pain-management physician, anesthesiologist, or other physician experienced in spinal interventions advances a catheter into the epidural space, often with fluoroscopic localization, and uses mechanical disruption, injected solution, or both. It is typically performed in an outpatient procedure setting when a one-day adhesiolysis session is planned.
Report 62264 for the single-day treatment course, rather than for each injection or catheter maneuver during that session. The operative note should support the adhesiolysis technique, epidural location, and treatment date; the number of treatment days distinguishes this service from 62263. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When other 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. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62264 billing questions
How do I choose between 62264 and 62263?
Use 62264 for a single-day adhesiolysis treatment. Use 62263 when the treatment course extends across multiple days.

No. Report the code for the single-day treatment session, not separately for each injection or maneuver within it.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure.
Are related postoperative visits separately reported?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.
What documentation supports reporting 62264?
Document the epidural adhesiolysis technique, the treatment location, and that the service was performed as a single-day session.
