Wiki Si joint injection

[PennyG]

Provider is injecting a steroid in to the sacroiliac joint. No imaging so cannot code with 27096. Can anyone help me with a procedure code? My provider is trying to use 20610, I disagree.

 

[Walker22]

20610 seems correct to me. Why do you disagree?

 

[RebeccaWoodward*]

I agree with Walker22...CPT Assistant also suggests this code (20610) in the absence of imaging.

SI joint injection

If he truely is injecting the joint and not the muscle around the SI joint I would agree to use the 20610 also. If he is injecting muscle I would use the trigger point injection of 20552. Good Luck
