Wiki CPT 20610 denials......

[nneecole44]

I know the CPT 20610 can't be used for Sacroiliac injections. But why am I now getting denials on knee and hip injections? I am doing everything the same but now for some reason they are getting denied. Please help. I have spent hours on the Medicare website and now I want to jump off a bridge. Thank you.

Have you checked the Medicare LCD? Also, are you using a RT or LT modifier?

It could be the DX and the modifiers are needed. What is the rejection code?

Is the patient in a global period? You may need to attach a 58 or 79.
