Hoping to get some guidance. Here is the procedure that was done.
Procedure: Cervical Trigger Point Injections with Botox Time-out was taken to identify the correct patient, procedure and side prior to starting the procedure. The patient was placed in the prone/sitting position. Sterile prep and drape was utilized in order to reduce the risk of infection. Once the patient's trigger point(s) were identified, the areas were injected with a total of 200 units of Botox, using a 27 gauge needle. The procedure was completed bilaterally at the cervical paraspinal muscles and trapezius muscles. No Botox was wasted today.
Would this be coded with the trigger point injection codes or the chemodenervation codes, since it's Botox? Thank you!
