If a provider bills for an injection of a paravertebral joint, 64493 (which includes fluoroscopy) and also for a sacroiliac joint injection, 27096 (which is to be used only with imaging confirmation fluoroscopy). Is the provider required to bill for another fluoroscopy to use with the 27096, or is the one included with PC 64493 sufficient for the additional procedure? I am inclined to think since it is a different location, fluoroscopy would need to be billed along with the 27096. Yet, I am not the expert in this field and would really appreciate assistance.
Thank you!!!
