Hi,

Can anyone help regarding coding of Lumbar puncture under fluoroscopic guidance ?
 
Thanks

Thanks a lot for ur help. actually i was checking on and there was a note that 77003 has to be coded seperately but i guess in 2017 62270 is inclusive of 77003. M I on right path?
 
77003 is add-on code used for the following CPT according to the parenthetical note: (61050, 61055, 62267, 62270, 62272, 62273, 62280, 62281, 62282, 62284, 64510, 64517, 64520, 64610)

I don't see an NCCI edit between 62270 only code 77001-77002 have an edit. Though its possible a payer may have custom edits that vary from NCCI
