I'm so lost on pain coding-so very lost. Any suggestions for coding materials that may be helpful to me would be appreciated. Here is the procedure I'm struggling with now:
Sacroiliac Joint Injection and L5 Dorsal Ramus Injection @ sacral ala
22 GSpinal Needle 3.5 insches long
40 mg Depo-Medrol
.25% Bupivacaine - 2cc
Patient prone during injection. All pressure points paaded. Inj site prepped and draped. C arm was positioned in the oblique plane. Spinal needle was advanced to the Left SI Joint using constant fluoroscopic guidance. Once the needle was in position, copies of the needle position were undertaken and are in patient's chart. Repeated aspirations thoughout the procedure were negative for air, blood, CSF, or other fluid. Medication was then injected into the Left SI joint as mentioned above. The same procedure was repeated for the L5 Dorsal ramus injections.
