Wiki transforaminal pain injection

[RadVCCoder]

When billing for Ct guided transforaminal injections (64479-64484) our radiologist are wanting to bill 96372 as well. I personal do not think it appropriate but I am not able to find documentation to provide stating this. I am wondering what other groups are doing? Is it appropriate? I feel like the therapeutic injection is the whole transforaminal injection. Please let me know your thoughts!!

Tell them to read the last two words of 96372. Subcutaneous or intramuscular. I know they are not doing that.
HTH,
