About 62282: Subarachnoid Neurolytic Injection
Reports injection of a neurolytic agent into the subarachnoid space to interrupt pain transmission in selected patients with severe, refractory pain.
This service delivers a neurolytic agent into the subarachnoid space to chemically interrupt pain transmission. It may be considered for selected patients with severe, refractory pain, including cancer-related pain, when a neurolytic approach is planned. Pain medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, or neurosurgeons may perform the procedure in a setting equipped for the patient's clinical needs.
Choose this code when documentation supports the subarachnoid route and neurolytic intent. Codes 62280 and 62281 describe neurolytic treatment by an epidural route, with the spinal level distinguishing those codes. Record the indication, agent, route, and procedure performed. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
