Pain management
Reports image-guided cervical or thoracic epidural or subarachnoid medication delivery using an indwelling catheter for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus.
This service places a catheter into the cervical or thoracic epidural or subarachnoid space under imaging guidance and delivers a diagnostic or therapeutic solution by continuous infusion or intermittent bolus. The injected medication may include an anesthetic, opioid, steroid, or other non-neurolytic substance. Anesthesiologists and pain medicine physicians commonly perform it in a hospital or outpatient procedural setting for situations such as regional analgesia or treatment of spinal pain.
Choose this code when the service includes indwelling catheter placement and image-guided medication delivery; a single injection without an indwelling catheter is reported with a different code. Documentation should identify the cervical or thoracic level, catheter placement, medication delivery method, and imaging guidance. The service has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
