Therapeutic Removal Of Spinal Fluid

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 62272

This procedure uses a needle placed into the fluid-filled space around the spinal cord to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid for treatment purposes, such as relieving pressure. It differs from a diagnostic spinal tap in that its main purpose is to remove fluid as a treatment, rather than simply to collect a sample for testing.
