Spinraza Injection

Date: Oct 17, 2019

Question:

I am seeing two opinions how to bill for Spinraza injection. First way is to bill as 62323 (injection of diagnostic or therapeutic substance) vs. billing as 96450 (chemo administration into CNS, includes lumbar puncture). I understand 96450 includes the lumbar puncture, but if billed as 62323 can the LP be bill separately?
