Hi- Looking for some suggestion on how to code a paracoccyx injection:
A 22 gauge 3 1/2 inch needle was passed through the skin wheal and advanced toward the mid point of coccyx under periodical radiographic guidance until bony structure contacted. About 80mg of depo-medrol mixed with 2 cc of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the paracoccyx area with the tip of the needle redirected several times to achieve maximal infiltration.
I don't believe he is in the joint by this documentation- but I really cannot tell where he is (muscle, tendon, etc)- any thoughts?
Thank you!
