Spinraza two physicians

Date: Mar 29, 2024

Question:

Physician services coding question: Physician A (neurointerventionalist) performs the lumbar puncture and Physician B (oncologist) performs the Spinraza injection. Would we assign 62328 or 62329 for Physician A? I'm recommending that the people who code for Physician B assign 96450-52 since their physician only injected the Spinraza. I've seen 62328 suggested for our physician's portion but this seems more therapeutic than diagnostic.
