Wiki 62311 (ESI) w/ Q9965??

[8907Chelsea]

I had posted in Ortho forum, but did not receive any answers, so thought I would try this one!

Our physician is doing ESI's under fluoro (62311). I know that you cannot bill for the injection of contrast material, but can you bill for the contrast material itself?(Q9965). I am thinking no, but we have had mixed answers.


Thanks for your help!

The epidural includes the contrast - this helps the physician guide the needle to the correct area
