There is no specific CPT code for the injection of spinal hardware. CPT code 64999, Unlisted procedure, nervous system, would be most appropriate to describe the injections for pain performed outside the foramen, as indicated in the clinical scenario provided
When the patient returns to have stiches removed or follow up or rehab due the hardware removal you will use the complication T code for the painful hardware and append the 7th character D.

The device can be adjusted externally to ensure the bones remain in an optimal position during the healing process. This device is commonly used in children and when the skin over the fracture has been damaged.
All other mechanical complications of internal joint prostheses (broken prosthesis, dislocation, mechanical loosening, and periprosthetic osteolysis and wear) remain in the T84.
