About 62350: Tunneled spinal drug-delivery catheter placement
Reports placement, revision, or repositioning of a tunneled spinal catheter for long-term medication delivery when the procedure is performed without laminectomy.
This service places, revises, or repositions a tunneled catheter in the intrathecal or epidural space for long-term medication delivery, such as drug infusion for chronic pain or spasticity. Anesthesia and pain specialists, neurosurgeons, and other qualified physicians may perform it in an operating room or another procedural setting. The catheter connects to an external pump or an implanted reservoir or infusion pump; this code describes catheter work, not implantation of the pump itself. Imaging guidance and interpretation, when performed, are included in the service.
Select this code when the tunneled catheter procedure is performed without laminectomy; use its sibling code when laminectomy is performed. Document the catheter route, the placement or revision performed, the long-term infusion purpose, and whether laminectomy was used. Related postoperative visits are included in the 10-day global period. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted, co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

62350 billing questions
How does this differ from 62351?
Use 62350 for the tunneled catheter procedure without laminectomy. Use 62351 when laminectomy is performed.
Does this code include pump implantation?
No. It covers the tunneled catheter work; a separately performed spinal infusion pump or device implantation may be reported with the applicable pump code.
Can the catheter procedure be billed with a pump code?
Yes, when both catheter placement and pump or device implantation are performed. The record should support the distinct work represented by each service.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The anatomy or descriptor makes bilateral adjustment inappropriate for this service.
What documentation supports reporting 62350?
Document the tunneled catheter’s intrathecal or epidural route, whether it was placed, revised, or repositioned, its long-term medication-delivery purpose, and that laminectomy was not performed.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Related postoperative visits are included for 10 days.
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.
