Please help...
Dr A was on a case and he did a spinal epidural on a patient. Dr A left and Dr B finished the case. But when Dr B came in the spinal was not working anymore. So Dr B had to re-do (reinsert and restart) the spinal for the patient. Dr B wants to know how to bill for that or if he can bill for that at all. Thank you!

Hi,
As Dr. B reinserted the needle for spinal epidural injection, he/she may bill for this service.
Spinal epidural injection without employment of catheter -
62310-cervical or thoracic
62311-lumbar
Spinal epidural injection with catheter employed -
62318-cervical or thoracic
62319-lumbar
