Neurolytic Injection, Epidural Space, Neck/Upper Back

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 62281

An injection of a nerve-destroying medication, such as alcohol or phenol, into the epidural space, the area surrounding the spinal cord's protective covering, at the neck or upper-back level, used to permanently interrupt pain signals when other treatments have not worked. It is typically reserved for severe, difficult-to-control pain, often related to cancer. This version targets the epidural space specifically in the neck or upper back, rather than the lower back or the space closer to the spinal cord itself.
