Hi All,
Needs assistance for the procedure below confused between CPT codes? (20550 or 25052) please, thank you!

Procedure:
After cleansing with alcohol, the right index and right middle flexor tendon sheaths at the A1 pulley were injected with 10mg of kenalog and 0.5cc of lidocaine. Sterile bandaids applied. Patient tolerated these well.
 
Flexor tendon injections are 20550.

I think 25052 was a typo, and you meant to ask about 20552, which is a trigger POINT injection. Trigger points are hardened knots of muscle, and are not related to trigger finger.
