Wiki cpt 62370 versus 95991

[gaynor64]

can someone tell me the difference between cpt code 62370 and 95991? both require skill of physician.
AAPC look up coder states for 62370 clinical responsibility places electrodes at the site of the implanted pump to monitor its performance on a computer and also reprograms and refills the pump with drug, but for 95991 also states at the same session, she may perform electronic pump analysis, checking such things as reservoir status, alarm status, and drug prescription status.
doesn't this seem to be the same?
HELP
thank you

95991 doesn't include reprogramming, just analysis. This may be used to determine if the pump requires reprogramming. If they were to do so in the same session, code 62370 instead.
In 62370, the provider analyzes performance of an implantable pump and also reprograms the pump and refills it. Intrathecal or epidural pumps may be used to deliver pain medications to patients suffering from trauma or disease.
Clinical Responsibility
The provider places electrodes at the site of the implanted pump to monitor its performance on a computer. The provider also reprograms the pump and refills the pump with drug.
