What it is
A transforaminal epidural injection places steroid and numbing medicine near a specific nerve root in the lower back, using X-ray or CT guidance. It is used for pain that travels down the leg (sciatica). This code covers one spinal level.
What the price covers
The price covers the injection at one level with imaging guidance. Each additional level is billed with an add-on code (64484), and the doctor's fee and medicine may be separate.

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 64483 ($1,505.00). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
