27570 and 20610?

[reichtina320]

Hello!

New to ortho and was wondering when 27570 manipulation under anesthesia is done, is there usually an injection which is included or would this be coded separately - celestone and marcaine (20610?)

thanks
Tina

It would not be reported separately. See the surgery guidelines and the CPT Surgical Package Definition.
