Piriformis Injections
« on: July 09, 2010, 03:05:36 PM »
Hi All.....

What is the correct way to bill a piriformis injection?  I was always under the assumption that it was 20552 with 77002 for fluoro (if used), UNLESS the provider specifically states in his notes that he did either a SI joint Injection (27096) or Sciatic NB (64445).  I have seen where some code it as 64999.....  If he is doing the SI Joint Inj or NB, and the piriformis muscle...can we use both 27096/20552-59 or 64445/20552-59??

Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.
MK

Per medAssests


When the physician performs the procedure as a block of the sciatic nerve then 64445 is appropriate. When the physician documents injection into the piriformis without mention of the sciatic nerve then 20999 would be most appropriate. Different payers may have different instructions. For example, Noridian Medicare prefers 64999 for when the injection into the piriformis without mention of the sciatic nerve is performed.

I think you may want to use 77002 for fluoroscopy in this instance. Check out CPT Assistant June 2008 on use of fluoroscopy.

<a href=http://priligy.homes>want to buy priligy in pakistan</a> Many women with DCIS were ineligible for the B 17 trial because their mammograms showed scattered calcifications that were thought to be either benign or associated with unremoved DCIS or because the margins of their resected breast tissue, despite several excisions, continued to be involved with DCIS
