Pain management

About 62320: Cervical or thoracic interlaminar injection

Reports a cervical or thoracic interlaminar injection of a diagnostic or therapeutic substance when the procedure is performed without imaging guidance.

This code covers an interlaminar injection into the cervical or thoracic epidural or subarachnoid space using a diagnostic or therapeutic substance, such as local anesthetic or steroid. It is commonly performed by pain medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, or other clinicians treating cervical radicular pain or thoracic spinal pain in an outpatient setting. The service includes needle or catheter placement for the injection, but it is not the code for ongoing infusion through an indwelling catheter. Imaging guidance is not included.

Report the code when documentation identifies the cervical or thoracic region, interlaminar approach, injected substance and clinical purpose, and confirms that imaging guidance was not used. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others by 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant-at-surgery claim for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
