Injection of corpora cavernosa with pharmacologic agent(s) (eg, papaverine, phentolamine) code 54235

[mjewett]

Hi -code 54235 is used when the provider injects to create a response (erection) and also can be used when the provider injects to reverse the response (detumescence), for example due to priapism, following the first injection.

My question is: If both injections are performed on the same date/same provider can code 54235 be billed twice?

I'd only report once in this context, only ONE MUE allowed for this CPT.
