If doctor injects shoulder to treat adhesive capsulitis would use 20610 or 20605. What if he states he injects the rotator cuff - again large or medium? That's all the information I get from the doctors.
 
look at CPT code 20610-Arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or injection, major joint or bursa(eg, shoulder, hip, knee, subacromial bursa). He is giving the injection into the shoulder. I would code as 20610 if it is without ultrasound. He does not mention the acromioclavicular which is for CPT code 20605.
