Our Imaging Department is using CPT 20610 instead of 27093 for the injection code performed before an MRI hip arthrogram (73722). I've attempted to explain the difference between a therapeutic joint injection (20610) and a diagnostic one (27093) along with the guidance from ZHealth, but to no avail. Can anyone assist me with official references or a better explanation for using 27093 instead of 20610 in this case?
