Default Intrapolyp steroid injections

Hi,

I have an ENT MD doing Intrapolyp steroid injections bilateral with kenalog. What CPT code would be used for this procedure?

Thank you for any information that you can provide

I have this same situation, but my doc did the polyp injection which was located on the turbinate so I billed the injection for the turbinate, does anyone know if this is correct?

What about 11900 - Injection, intralesional: up to and including 7 lesions? Or 11901 - more than 7 lesions? Remember, code 11900 OR 11901 one time only.
