I believe those are included. Read the notes following 62310, I think that will help answer your question

You could use code 99144 along with 62311, there aren't CCI edits according to my software, but some payers will consider this included, however there are others that will pay for this due to the fact the sedation is optional for the epidural.
Also before reporting 99144, read the documentation requirements for this code.
