I have a provider that had performed 6 injections into a patient's scalp b/c of her headaches. The 20553 code is for "muscle" so not sure if that would apply. Also when I tried to check the diagnosis codes against it they were not covered.
Anyone come across something like this before?!

Thank you
 
Code 20553 isn't used for headaches. What about 96372?
 
Well the provider mentioned them as trigger point injections. I nevered realized/knew there were trigger points in the scalp (I always thought of them as muscular) but I found a site that does show "myofacial trigger points" all in the sides of head/scalp, neck, forehead and around the eyes.... I am so lost!!!
