About 62327: Lumbar or sacral epidural catheter infusion
Reports image-guided lumbar or sacral interlaminar epidural catheter placement for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus of a diagnostic or therapeutic substance.
This service covers placing an indwelling catheter through a lumbar or sacral interlaminar approach and delivering a diagnostic or therapeutic substance by continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. It may be used for epidural analgesia or medication delivery when a catheter is needed, including in hospital or ambulatory procedural settings. Imaging guidance is part of the service. The code excludes neurolytic substances and is distinct from a one-time epidural injection without an indwelling catheter.
Report 62327 when the documented approach is lumbar or sacral and imaging guides catheter placement; the procedure note should identify the site, approach, imaging guidance, catheter placement, and medication-delivery method. The CMS global period is 0 days, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. 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. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62327 billing questions
How does 62327 differ from 62323?
62327 describes lumbar or sacral catheter placement for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus with imaging guidance. 62323 is for an interlaminar injection without the indwelling-catheter infusion service.
Is imaging guidance included in 62327?
Yes. The service is reported with imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or CT, as part of the procedure.
Can the catheter placement and each later bolus be reported separately?
The code includes catheter placement and the continuous-infusion or intermittent-bolus method. Do not report each bolus as a separate catheter-placement service.
What documentation supports reporting 62327?
Document the lumbar or sacral interlaminar site, image-guided technique, indwelling catheter placement, and whether medication is delivered continuously or by intermittent bolus.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
CMS applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. The code has a 0-day global period.
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.
