Good Morning~~

We are just having a discussion in regard to use of the CPT 27093, for an injection into the hip under fluro. (dye is being used for location purposes only/not diagnostic)
I would appreciate any feed back in regard to this. We are having A "BACK AND FORTH" with an Insurance company.
Thanks in advance for any feed back..

If it's not an arthrogram and an anesthetic injection only, then I would use the 20610 and 77002.
