Hi, I work for internal medicine, we bill 20550 we get denials from Fidelis stating it needs prior auth because we are not orthopedic can any one help with this?
 
What are you injecting? If it's not a tendon sheath, ligament or aponeurosis, it won't be covered.

20550 Injection(s); single tendon sheath, or ligament, aponeurosis (eg, plantar "fascia")
 
Hi, I work for internal medicine as well and I use that code often with a dx pertaining to a tendon sheath and I have not had a problem getting reimbursed.
