Good Morning All!
I just received my 2010 CPT book and as I was looking through I saw that they are deleting the facet injection codes(64470 - 64476) and adding new codes(64490 - 64495) that include fluoroscopic and/or CT guidance.
I also saw that if no imaging is used we are to report trigger point injections codes for these injections. To me that doesn't seem right. Are they then going to fall under the trigger point LCD's? Will the trigger point LCD's be revised to include spinal dx codes then? It also said that if U/S guidance is used we are to report an unlisted code(64999).
I am just looking for other's opinons on these new codes. I also wanted to know if anyone knew how the RVU's are going to change for these new codes since they include guidance.
