Wiki 62310 or 64479

[ASC CODER]

the doc is doing a translaminar MIDLINE t9-10 epidural sterioid injection.

He raised the needle over the t9-10 interlaminar space and did an epidural spread.



I am leaning towards 62310 due to the fact that it is MIDLINE..Could someone share their opinion?

 

[dwaldman]

the key word interlaminar and not seeing mention of the needle being directed into the foramen I would agree 62310 would be your code selection.
