​CPT Codes for Percutaneous Adhesiolysis in Pain Management: A Comprehensive Guide
​Pain management is a crucial aspect of healthcare, and percutaneous adhesiolysis is one of the interventions commonly used to alleviate chronic pain conditions. However, healthcare providers and insurance companies must understand the appropriate CPT codes for pain management procedures to ensure accurate billing and insurance coverage. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to CPT codes for percutaneous adhesiolysis in pain management, including the most commonly used codes and their significance.
What is Percutaneous Adhesiolysis?

Percutaneous adhesiolysis is a minimally invasive procedure used in pain management to treat chronic pain conditions caused by scar tissue or adhesions. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the epidural space and injecting a solution to dissolve or break up adhesions causing pain. The procedure is often performed under fluoroscopy guidance to ensure accurate placement of the needle and avoid complications.
