As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $4,596.00. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 7 facilities here, median $2,298.00. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

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.

1 row held back from this comparison

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.
