Looking for some guidance in coding this procedure. After consulting several physicians and doing some web research, I am far from clear on whether this is intended to be a nerve block or a trigger point injection. The ER physician who did the injection feels it might be a nerve block. A neurologist whom I consulted says it is not a nerve block and would be more appropriately coded as a trigger point injection; however, he has stated that is his opinion, and not an authoritative answer.
Does anyone have sufficient knowledge of this procedure, or an authoritative reference, to give guidance in coding it?
Thanks much!
