Wiki 20610 Arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or injection, major joint or bursa(eg. shoulder, hip, knee, subacrominal bursa)

[janyhopkins]

If a family physician charges 20610 for bilateral knees for this procedure. How do you enter the codes?

exp: 20610/50, or 20610 LT, 20610 RT/59, or 20610 LT, 20610 59/RT.

Thank you for your help in advance!

20610-50 (don't forget to double the fee amount)

I have also used the code 20610 with a quantity and it paid. I had shoulder and a knee. It was a Blue Cross claim.
