Hello,

If the doctor injects saline and then aspirates some calcifications from the subacromial bursa and follows that with an injection of a steroid would it still be coded with 20610 and 76942 for US guidance? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks for your response! Since there is more to it than just aspirating once and injecting once I wasn't certain that captured the charges correctly.
