- Image-guided injection of corticosteroid into the lumbar epidural space to treat back and leg pain. The procedure code (62323) bundles imaging guidance; some hospitals report the fluoroscopy component separately under 77003.
- What's typically billed separately for lumbar epidural steroid injection?
- All listed components are typically included in the hospital's bill. Confirm with billing before scheduling — payer-side adjustments can shift line items between providers.
- How does the lumbar epidural steroid injection package price get calculated?
- Cleartau sums per-component representative prices across the procedure, facility, anesthesia, and (where applicable) implant lines. The package median equals the sum of per-component medians; min and max work the same way. When a hospital publishes a formula (e.g. "150% of Medicare") instead of a dollar amount, the formula is resolved against the matching CMS fee schedule before aggregation.
