About 62361: Spinal infusion pump implantation
Reports surgical implantation or replacement of a spinal infusion pump that delivers medication into the intrathecal or epidural space.
This service covers the operative placement or replacement of an implanted pump that delivers medication into the spinal canal or epidural space. Pain specialists, neurosurgeons, and other qualified surgeons may perform it in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting for patients needing ongoing medication delivery, such as treatment for severe chronic pain or spasticity. The pump is placed under the skin and connected to the medication-delivery catheter; catheter work should be coded according to the work actually performed and the applicable CPT code.
Report the pump procedure supported by the operative record, including the indication, device implanted or replaced, medication-delivery route, and work on the pump and catheter. Related postoperative visits are included in the 10-day global period. 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 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment require supporting medical-necessity documentation; team surgery is not permitted.

62361 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 62350 or 62351?
This code reports the spinal infusion pump procedure. Codes 62350 and 62351 describe implantation or revision of the intrathecal or epidural catheter, with the latter involving a laminectomy approach.
Can catheter work be reported separately?
Catheter implantation or revision may be separately reportable when that work is performed and supported by the operative documentation. Use the catheter code that matches the documented service and approach.
Does the 10-day global period include postoperative visits?
Yes. Related postoperative visits during the 10 days after the procedure are included in the global period.
Can modifier 50 be used for pump placement?
No. Bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure.
When is assistant-at-surgery payment supported?
Payment for an assistant at surgery requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeon payment also requires supporting documentation.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures performed in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
