Hello my fellow members. Question for you....im wondering how you would code this? Trying to get some feed back on a few things to iron some things out-TY in advance!>>>>
Patient presents with pain and spasms in the bilateral cervical regions, with associated tenderness radiating to the lower cervical region. Patient also complains of pain and spasms in the lower lumbar regions, with associated tenderness radiating to the lower extremities.
Procedure was explained to the patient. The patient relayed understanding of the risks and benefits involved. 6 mL of 40 mg/1 mL of Kenalog mixed with 6 mL of 2% Lidocaine 20 mg/mL mixed and injected in the following muscles:
2 mL right and left supraspinatous muscle
2 mL right and left trapezius muscle
2 mL right and left cervical paraspinal muscles
2 mL right and left glutei muscles
2 mL right and left lumbar paraspinal muscles
2 mL right and left sacral paraspinal muscles
Patient tolerated the procedure well. No immediate complications seen. Patient is recommended to continue with previously recommended managment.
This is what is given mind you I didnt code this:
20553
J3301 24 units
96372
Along with the OV code and some labs.
