Pain management

About 62326: Lumbar or sacral epidural injection with catheter

Report this service for a lumbar or sacral interlaminar epidural or subarachnoid drug injection using a catheter for infusion or intermittent bolus without imaging guidance.

This service covers delivery of a diagnostic or therapeutic substance into the lumbar or sacral epidural or subarachnoid space through a catheter, including catheter placement and continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. It is commonly performed by an anesthesiologist or pain specialist in a facility setting for situations such as epidural pain control or medication delivery for lumbar or sacral pain. The code describes a catheter technique without imaging guidance; it is distinct from a single-injection technique and from a catheter procedure performed with imaging guidance.

Select the code based on the documented spinal region, catheter use, infusion or bolus method, and whether imaging guidance was used. Documentation should identify the approach, catheter placement, injected substance, and guidance method. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. 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% reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62326 billing questions

How does this differ from 62322?

62326 involves a catheter for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. 62322 is the lumbar or sacral interlaminar injection code for a technique without that catheter service.

When should 62327 be used instead?

Use 62327 when the lumbar or sacral catheter injection is performed with imaging guidance. This code describes the catheter technique without imaging guidance.

Does the code include catheter placement?

Yes. Catheter placement is part of the service, along with delivery by continuous infusion or intermittent bolus.

What documentation supports this code?

Document the lumbar or sacral interlaminar approach, catheter placement and use, the substance delivered, and whether imaging guidance was used.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures performed in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
