Wiki Physician Assistants and Fluoroscopy-77002?

[thoffert]

Does anyone have any experience with billing for injections under fluoroscopy completed by a physician assistant?

We use the normal injection codes such as 20610 and then bill 77002. I am struggling to find the restrictions for PA billing 77002 in Pennsylvania? Does anyone bill these services under a physician assisatant and have they gotten paid?

Thank you

The practice may need to consult legal counsel to confirm. It depends on the state PA rule/scope of practice. I think they also need specific training in fluoro.
