I'm not sure if I agree with the CPT my Doctor chose for the patients procedure.
The treatment was for trochanteric bursitis.
The Doctor injected 40 mg of kenalog into the patients left trochanteric bursa, and she coded a 20551.
Shouldn't the code be 20610 because she injected into a major joint? cpt 20610.
Please help thank you
