Will someone who codes ortho please help me... I'm in serious need of direction for steroid injections that are given in the office.

One of the PCP continues to give injections that fall under trigger point injection rules and doesn't understand that he must document the muscle group where the injection is given in order to get paid. He usually gives depo medrol 80mg and lidocaine 1cc in the lower back near the spine and states its the lumbar sacral. . quadratus lumborum muscle is what I've found that comes close to the area.
