I have wondered this for a while: are the medicines included in the codes for neurolysis injections(62280-62282)? I know the fluoroscopic guidance is, but the provider here has been reporting the medicine codes separately from the procedure for those and I feel like they should be included in the cost of the whole thing, please advise if I'm off track :p
Thanks all,

Are they performed in the clinic, or in a facility? If in the clinic, then the meds were an expense to the clinic, and yes, can be billed separately. If in a facility, the meds/supplies are provided by the facility, and not billed by the doctor.

HTH!
