PAs and myelograms

Date: Jan 24, 2018

Question:

We currently use codes 62302-62305 to bill for myelograms performed by the radiologists. They would like to utilize the PAs for the myelogram injections. Would it be appropriate to have the PAs perform the injection and bill under their NPI for code 62284, and also bill under the radiologist NPI for codes 72240-72270?
