Please help, my physicians gave me a procedure to code out and I'm stuck as this is unfamiliar to me
His procedure note states the procedures as follows:
1.Provacative lumbar diskography L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 under fluoroscopy
2. Lumbar diskogram
3. Fluoroscopic guidance
4. Left selective nerve root block under fluoroscopy L3, L4, and L5
I am so confused, can any one help me out with this one. I know there are two separate procedures which I will need to apply the 59 to the second procedure. when I put it into the system it looks crazy
Im sure for the first procedure I should use the dx code 722.10 62290 and for the additional code 72295 and for the SNRB use the dx code 722.52 and 724.02
PLEASE HELP
I have been holding this report for over a month and I cannot figure out how to code it and I have no other coder in the office to ask.
