But is a lumbar ESI technically reimbursable without contrast use?

Yes

 

[Ducttape]

if you state the reason you did not use contrast - ie allergy.

from CMS:

1. An initial injection of contrast is required to confirm epidural placement, unless the patient has a contraindication to contrast. The subsequent ESI should include corticosteroids and may be combined with anesthetics or saline.1

the 1. is this statement:

1. Injections performed without image guidance or by ultrasound are not considered medically reasonable and necessary except in cases of documented contraindication to contrast media (e.g., allergy, pregnancy).13-15
