How would you code this injection for pain? The doctor billed it as 20610. This is the only thing he documented:
Notes: I've injected his lumbar spine with 2 cc of dexamethasone lidocaine and Marcaine, and this is given him symptomatic relief. We've adjusted his rolling walker to allow him to remain upright position when he ambulates. I think this will take pressure off his lumbar spine as well.
Would that be the correct code or is there a better code for an injection into the lumbar spine?
Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
