Answer: You should bill for the injection depending on the location of the scar. For example, the following list of injection codes may help you determine the correct code, based on the scar site:
90782 therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic
injection (specify material injected);
subcutaneous or intramuscular
20550 injection, tendon sheath, ligament,
trigger points or ganglion cyst
20605 arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or
injection; intermediate joint, bursa or ganglion
cyst (e.g., wrist, elbow, ankle)
20610 arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or
injection; major joint, bursa or ganglion cyst
(e.g., shoulder, hip, knee joint)
There are other injection codes in CPT 2000, listed under the spine and spinal cord section of the Surgery/Nervous System heading.
The HCPCS code for the drug itself is HCPCS J2690 (procainamide HCl, up to 1 gram). |
