Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection, Single Level

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 64483

Using live X-ray or CT imaging for guidance, a physician injects an anesthetic and/or steroid medication near a spinal nerve root as it exits the lower spine or the area where the spine meets the pelvis. This targets a single spinal level and aims to reduce inflammation and pain from a pinched or irritated nerve, such as from a herniated disc or spinal narrowing. It differs from injections placed into the broader epidural space rather than directly alongside a specific nerve root.
