1 Spinal Interventional Pain Management and Lumbar Spine Surgery Policy Number: Original Effective Date: MM /01/2014 Line(s) of Business: Current Effective Date: HMO; PPO; QUEST Integration 08/22/2014 Section: Surgery; Medicine Place(s) of Service: Office; Outpatient; Inpatient I. A. The following spinal interventional pain management and lumbar spine surgery procedures require precertification through National Imaging Associates, Inc. (NIA): 1. Therapeutic spinal epidural injections or select nerve root blocks: a. Caudal b. Interlaminar c. Transforaminal 2. Paravertebral facet joint denervation (radiofrequency neurolysis) 3. Paravertebral facet joint injections or blocks 4. Lumbar fusion surgery 5. Lumbar decompression (laminectomy, facetectomy and foraminotomy) 6. Lumbar microdiscectomy 7. Sacroiliac joint injections II. Administrative Guidelines A. The ordering physician can obtain precertification or consult with NIA by accessing their website at or by calling 1 (866) , from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., weekdays, Hawaii Time. Refer to the e-library for instructions on navigating the radmd.com website (RadMD Get Started) and requesting precertification/checking the status of a request (RadMD QuickStart). B. For access to the latest clinical guidelines used for precertification, go to and click on the link entitled View Clinical Guidelines. C. For interventional pain management procedures (epidural injections, facet joint denervation neurolysis, facet joint injections and sacroiliac joint injections), if more than one procedure is planned, a separate precertification number must be obtained for each procedure planned.
2 Spinal Interventional Pain Management and Lumbar Spine Surgery 2 D. For spinal surgeries (lumbar fusions, lumbar decompressions, and lumbar microdiscectomy), one precertification number should be obtained for the most invasive surgery to be performed. E. Precertification requirements for injection procedures apply only to office and outpatient services (POS 11, 22, or 24). Services performed in connection with an emergency department visit or observation room confinement (POS 23) and services rendered during an inpatient stay (POS 21) do not require precertification. F. Precertification is not required for services ordered for FEP members. G. Codes that require precertification: 1. Spinal epidural injections: Cervical Thoracic Region Injection(s), of diagnostic or therapeutic substance(s) (including anesthetic, antispasmodic, opioid, steroid, other solution), not including neurolytic substances, including needle or catheter placement, includes contrast for localization when performed, epidural or subarachnoid; cervical or thoracic Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with imaging guidance (fluoroscopy or CT); cervical or thoracic, single level cervical or thoracic, each additional level (List separately in addition to code for 0228T 0229T Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with ultrasound guidance, cervical or thoracic; single level each additional level (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure) Lumbar Sacral Region Injection(s), of diagnostic or therapeutic substance(s) (including anesthetic, antispasmodic, opioid, steroid, other solution), not including neurolytic substances, including needle or catheter placement, includes contrast for localization when performed, epidural or subarachnoid; lumbar or sacral (caudal) Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with imaging guidance (fluoroscopy or CT); lumbar or sacral, single level lumbar or sacral, each additional level (List separately in addition to code for 0230T Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with
