My Dr. Performed a trigger point injection and a SI joint injection in the same session on a medicare patient. Is it okay to code the procedure as follows:
20552 dx code 729.1
27096 51 dx code 724.6 and 721.3
76942 26 it was done at a out patient surgical center.
His note stated using U/S guidance the spinal needle was taken to the trigger point in the gluteus maximus , then the needle was advanced slightly further into the inferior aspect of the SI joint. It also stated that the solution was injected into the joint itself and a final fluoroscopic image was obtained.
Thanks for you help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
