Hi All
I hope someone can help. Dr. wants to do a piriformis injection in the office. Not sure what code to use. 20610 ?? 20552?? Any help will be appreciated.
Here is the note in short. Patient would like to have piriformis injection. A line was drawn between the freater trachanter, posterior superior iliac spine, and the midpoint as the region of the piriformis. A point of maximal tenderness was found at this region. A solution of 2 cc of 0.25% bupivacane and well as 2cc of lidocaine and 80 mg of Depo-Medrol was drawn. needle was guided towards the point of maximal tenderness. The injectate was then injected into the piriformis region.
Thank you
