Dr is doing an injection near the patients hardware to determine if this is the cause of her spinal pain. He wants to know what to code this procedure and I am so stumped, any suggestions?

I don't think I have enough information to answer your question. Exactly where is this injection being given? Are you injecting a nerve, or a joint? If a nerve, which one? What substance is being injected?
