Lumbar epidural injections are typically billed through insurance rather than paid entirely out of pocket, since they are used to manage a diagnosed spinal condition such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. At IROSM, Dr. Michael Erdman evaluates your imaging and symptoms in Fort Lauderdale to confirm whether epidural injections are appropriate.
One cost detail that surprises many patients: most insurance plans place an annual limit on how many epidural steroid injections they’ll cover in a calendar year. Understanding that limit upfront helps you plan for a full course of care rather than being caught off guard partway through.
Unlike a one-time procedure, lumbar epidural injections are often given as a short series, and many insurance plans cap the number of covered injections per calendar year. This annual limit, more than any single line-item fee, tends to shape what a patient ultimately pays out of pocket over the course of treatment.
Dr. Michael Erdman’s team at IROSM in Fort Lauderdale reviews your specific plan’s limit before scheduling, so you know how many injections are covered and what your responsibility looks like if additional sessions are recommended later in the year.
Most plans cover a set number of epidural injections per calendar year. Injections beyond that limit are typically the patient’s responsibility.
Some injections are used to help confirm the source of pain, while others are part of an ongoing treatment plan. This classification can affect how a claim is processed.
Lumbar epidural injections at IROSM are performed under fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) guidance for placement accuracy, which is billed as part of the procedure.
Your out-of-pocket cost for each injection depends on whether you’ve met your annual deductible and your plan’s coinsurance structure.
Generally Covered, With an Annual Cap
Lumbar epidural injections are commonly covered by Medicare and most major insurance carriers when conservative treatment, such as physical therapy or medication, has not resolved the pain. Prior authorization is often required, and most plans apply a yearly limit on the number of covered injections.
The team at IROSM in Fort Lauderdale verifies your benefits and remaining annual allowance before scheduling, so your expected cost is clear ahead of time.
