I need help coding this procedure. I know it is 20600 but it is 4 areas that are injected. Is it 4 units or just 1 unit?
The patient is brought to the procedure room and is seated on one of the chairs. His right hand is placed on the procedure room table, and it is prepped with Betadine in sterile fashion. Under fluoroscopy, right hand interphalangeal joints are located. Using 1mL of 300mg/mL of Omnipaque is injected at each joint on the first, second, third and fourth digits. After arthoscopy is verified by AP, an injection is performed on the first, second, third and fourth digit in the interphalangeal joints using 2 mL of a mixture of 1 mL of 40 mg/ml Kenalog, 1 mL of 25% Marcaine and 1 mL of 1% Lidocaine divided between all four joints.
Thank you!
