If the pt is having an epidural steroid injection, the radiologist uses Omni 300 to confirm the needle placement/confirmation (equal to or less than 1 ml) and then the pt receives Celestone and bupivacaine.
Would you bill/code for the Omni (Q9967) or do you not code for the need placement/confirmation. (we are an imaging center that provides and does everything if that makes a difference)
We currently use omni300 or bupivacaine for need placement/confirmation. Please see example pulled from report.
"Small test injection of Omni 300 confirmed appropriate needle position. A mixture of 12 mg Celestone and 2 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was then injected. Needle removed."
Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any helpful resources for these situations.
