Hi there...
We have a new provider who performed trigger point injections (20550, 76942-59) on the same day as a joint injection (20611, J7320). Medicare denied the trigger point injection (20550) stating it cannot be performed/billed the same day as the joint injection. The other three codes were paid, however.
Is this is a problem with the way the procedures were coded/modifier issue? Or can we simply not perform these two procedures on the same day?
Thank you for your help!
