Please help me by clearing up confusion on which CPT code should be used to report a steriod injection made into the cubital tunnel. The injection would be equivalent to CPT 20526 (carpal tunnel injection), but performed into the cubital tunnel. We have been using an unlisted code from the nervous system (64999), the ASC has been reporting an unlisted code from the musculoskeletal system (24999). I checked with two other local hand surgeon's offices: one has been using 20605 (intermediate joint or bursa, which is not correct per my MD) the other uses 20550 (tendon sheath or ligament, also not correct per my MD).
Can anyone help clear this up?
