Wiki Bicipital Tendon injection - need CPT code

[drpatel.5225@gmail.com]

Can some help me with the what cpt code to use for Bicipital Tendon Injection.

The below info is what I got from Medicare website should I be using 64455 or 64632 do you know the difference and advise.

"These therapies are not to be coded using 20550, 20551, 64450, 64640 or other assigned CPT codes. Rather, the provider of these therapies must bill with CPT code 64455 or 64632 Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, plantar common digital nerve(s) (eg, Morton's neuroma) as the correct CPT code for the service."

Biciptal Tendon Injection

Consider 20550 or 20551.

Shoulder joint injection. You could use 20610 if documented properly.

20610 is only applicable if injected into the shoulder joint or bursa. Either 20550 or 20551 would be more appropriate depending on if documentation specifies injection into the tendon vs. tendon sheath/ligament.

You should use either CPT code 64455 or 64632 for Bicipital Tendon Injection, depending on whether you're using anesthetic or steroids. Double-check the specifics in your documentation to pick the right one.
