[AWHITACRE]

Looking for help coding a Intrathecal injection of Baclofen in an ASC setting. This is just a trial at L1-2 interspace.

Can I bill J code for ASC? This is a Medicare patient.

If you purchase a Ignenix HCPCS book, next the J codes it gives the ASC payment indicators . When I looked up your J code in the HCPCS book it gave the indicator of K2, which states

Drugs and biologicals paid separately when provided integral to a surgical procedure on the ASC list; payment based on OPPS rate.
