Official Description

Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion (includes evaluation of reservoir status, alarm status, drug prescription status); without reprogramming or refill

© Copyright 2025 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Common Language Description

The CPT® Code 62367 refers to the electronic analysis of a programmable, implanted pump used for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion. This procedure involves a thorough evaluation of the pump's functionality without the need for reprogramming or refilling. During the analysis, a connection is established between the implanted pump and an interrogation device, which is designed to extract critical information regarding the pump's operational status. The interrogation device assesses various parameters, including the reservoir status, alarm status, and drug prescription status, ensuring that these elements are functioning within acceptable limits. The technician or physician conducting the analysis reviews the data obtained to determine if any adjustments are necessary. However, in the case of CPT® Code 62367, no reprogramming or refilling of the pump is performed. A comprehensive written report detailing the findings of the electronic analysis is generated, which serves as documentation of the evaluation conducted. This code is specifically utilized when the analysis is completed without any modifications to the pump's programming or its drug supply.

1. Indications

The electronic analysis of a programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion, as described by CPT® Code 62367, is indicated for the following conditions:

  • Evaluation of Pump Functionality This procedure is performed to assess the operational status of the implanted pump, ensuring that it is functioning correctly and delivering medication as intended.
  • Monitoring Reservoir Status The analysis includes checking the reservoir status to confirm that there is an adequate supply of medication available for infusion.
  • Alarm Status Assessment The procedure evaluates the alarm status of the pump to ensure that any alerts or warnings are functioning properly, which is crucial for patient safety.
  • Drug Prescription Status Review The analysis involves reviewing the drug prescription status to verify that the correct medication is programmed for delivery.

2. Procedure

The procedure for CPT® Code 62367 involves several key steps to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the implanted pump:

  • Step 1: Establishing Connection The first step involves establishing a connection between the implanted pump and the interrogation device. This connection is essential for the interrogation device to access the pump's data and functionality.
  • Step 2: Data Retrieval Once the connection is established, the interrogation device retrieves critical data from the pump. This data includes information on the reservoir status, alarm status, and drug flow rates, which are vital for assessing the pump's performance.
  • Step 3: Data Evaluation The technician or physician reviews the retrieved data to evaluate whether the pump is operating within normal parameters. This evaluation helps identify any potential issues that may require attention.
  • Step 4: Documentation After the evaluation, a written report of the findings is generated. This report documents the results of the electronic analysis and serves as a record of the pump's status.

3. Post-Procedure

After the electronic analysis is completed, no immediate post-procedure care is required since the procedure does not involve reprogramming or refilling the pump. The patient may continue with their regular medication regimen as prescribed. However, it is essential for the healthcare provider to review the findings documented in the report and determine if any follow-up actions are necessary based on the evaluation results. Continuous monitoring of the pump's functionality may be recommended to ensure ongoing efficacy and safety in drug delivery.

59 Distinct procedural service: under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other non-e/m services performed on the same day. modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services, other than e/m services, that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. documentation must support a different session, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same individual. however, when another already established modifier is appropriate it should be used rather than modifier 59. only if no more descriptive modifier is available, and the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. note: modifier 59 should not be appended to an e/m service. to report a separate and distinct e/m service with a non-e/m service performed on the same date, see modifier 25.
GC This service has been performed in part by a resident under the direction of a teaching physician
58 Staged or related procedure or service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional during the postoperative period: it may be necessary to indicate that the performance of a procedure or service during the postoperative period was: (a) planned or anticipated (staged); (b) more extensive than the original procedure; or (c) for therapy following a surgical procedure. this circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 58 to the staged or related procedure. note: for treatment of a problem that requires a return to the operating/procedure room (eg, unanticipated clinical condition), see modifier 78.
78 Unplanned return to the operating/procedure room by the same physician or other qualified health care professional following initial procedure for a related procedure during the postoperative period: it may be necessary to indicate that another procedure was performed during the postoperative period of the initial procedure (unplanned procedure following initial procedure). when this procedure is related to the first, and requires the use of an operating/procedure room, it may be reported by adding modifier 78 to the related procedure. (for repeat procedures, see modifier 76.)
79 Unrelated procedure or service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional during the postoperative period: the individual may need to indicate that the performance of a procedure or service during the postoperative period was unrelated to the original procedure. this circumstance may be reported by using modifier 79. (for repeat procedures on the same day, see modifier 76.)
