Some dispute in my office regarding the following...
Dr states that an "Injection intra articular hip" was performed
Depomedrol 80mg DILUTED AS NOTED, Xylocaine 1%PF 2cc,& Marcaine 0.25% PF -2cc were injected.
I am thinking the CPT that should be used is 20610- Arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or injection, major joint or bursa
the other possibility being stated is 27093- Injection procedure for hip arthrography w/o anesthesia...
please help. I think the 20610 is the way to go...
