Please help! How would you properly code this?
After informed consent she was prepped and draped. Multiple injections were performed in 6 locations bilaterally, using Depomedrol and Marcaine.
Nursing Comments
08:30 NORMAL SALINE INFUSION WAS STARTED AND INFUSED UNTIL DISCHARGE FOR 4 HOURS
10:00 DEPOMEDROL 80MG/MARCAINE 3CC WAS INJECTED INTO 6 COSTOCHONDRAL JUNCTIONS. PATIENT TOLERATED THE PROCEDURE WELL. NO COMPLICATIONS.
11:00 TORADOL 30 MG IVP ADMINSTERD
My provider used codes:
96365 IV Infusion
96372 Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection
93674 IV push single
20600 Injection small joint, 6 units
96361 Hydration IV Infusion, 3 units
96360 Hydration IV infusion initial
Would this be correct?
I feel like 96365 - 96372 should not be reported given the documentation provided. Any help would be appreciated.
