Hi All
I hope some can help me with this.
This procedure was done at an ASC.
LT T11 rib bone injection.
Pt brought to op-room. The fluorscope was tilted to visualize the LT T11 rib in the region approximately 1 to 2 cm lateral of the costovertebral junction. The skin and subcutaneous tissue over the region was anesthetized using 2% lidocaine with a 25-gauge 1-1/2 inch needle. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the 25-gauge needle was introduced through the skin towards the targeted rib. The needle was then walked off superiorly. After negative aspiration for CSF, air, or heme, a total of 2cc of solution containing 40mg of Depo-Medrol and 1cc of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected over the region. Pt transferred to recovery.
Please help not sure of code looked at 64420??? not sure thats right. Looked at 20550 ??? or am I reading to much into this and is it just a simple 20610 injection. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thank you
