This was done in offce:
Used a Betadine scrub and injected a solution of Kenalog and Xylocaine into the flexor sheath of the left ring finger.
I then injected on both sides of the cord to help give us some sensory improvement.
I used 20550 for the tendon sheath injection, but not sure what to do with the injection on both sides of the cord ? The doctor said to use 26989 which is an unlisted code.
Ok fine, but what CPT code do I compare to ?
I was thinking maybe 20552 ?
Please, I would love some suggestions on where to go with this one.
He then did a manipulation of the finger, but I don't think I can charge for that . . .
I am confused :-(
