What 62320 covers

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.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

62320 billing questions

When should 62321 be reported instead?

No. The service is reported without imaging guidance; use the corresponding image-guided code when imaging is used.

How does 62320 differ from a catheter infusion code?

62320 reports an injection, including placement needed to deliver it. A cervical or thoracic service using an indwelling catheter for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus is represented by 62324 without imaging or 62325 with imaging.

What documentation supports reporting 62320?

Document the cervical or thoracic site, interlaminar approach, substance injected, clinical purpose, and whether imaging guidance was used.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant-at-surgery claim for 62320, and co-surgeon or team-surgery billing 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 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.
