What is the guideline for cpt 20610 when a doctor aspirates the knee and then injects the knee with medication? Do we code 20610 once or twice? Any help would be good. Thanks.
 
Aspirate/Inject

You can only charge that code once per site. It isn't unusual for a doctor to aspirate a small amount of fluid from a joint before he injects the same joint, but don't charge it twice!
