Wiki pain management billing question

Code 20553. Can I bill this with 2 units if two were done or should I bill the one and add a 76 modifier to the second?

"Report 20553 for trigger point injection of more than two muscles. For one or two muscles, see the CPT? code 20552.

What's the Difference Between 20552 and 20553?
The number of muscles the ED physician injects. If he injects two or fewer muscles, report 20552 (Injection[ s]; single or multiple trigger point, 1 or 2 muscle). If he performs TPI on three–plus muscles, report 20553 (… single or multiple trigger points, 3 or more muscle)."
