Can someone tell me which cpt code I would use for bilateral si joint injection? I believe it would be 20610. But would you charge this as being done twice since it is bilateral?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Why are you not using the SI injection code 27096?

Keep in mind...27096 requires imaging confirmation/intra-articular needle position; otherwise report 20610. To report bilaterally, modifier 50 is normally what I submit (unless the carrier has a another preference).
