Abstract
Objective: To evaluate Medicare expenditures for lumbosacral steroid injections. Design: Using Medicare Physician Part B physician claims data for 1994 through 2001 (5% sample), we calculated expenditures for lumbosacral steroid injections. Claims were identified using Current Procedural Terminology 4 codes for lumbosacral steroid injections, including epidural steroid injections and facet injections. Calculations were performed using allowed charges (ie, reimbursed costs) and were adjusted for health care inflation.
