United Healthcare and Anthem BCBS of CT will deny trigger point injections unless we bill it with the anesthetic used (Lidocaine). What we have done in the past is add J2001 to the claim and the insurance will pay for the procedure and not for the J2001 because it is considered inclusive with the procedure which is fine. But it does not seem that the J2001 should be used at all because the description states it is for "intravenous infusion"and not "injection". How do other pain specialist bill for trigger point injections and get paid?
