Wiki Subacromial Injection ?

[Jody Mortensen]

What CPT code does an injection into the subacromial space code to? The procedure is documented as: under sterile technique, the subacromial space was injected with 1 ml of Celestone. I'm looking at 20610 but I do not know if that is correct. The documentation doesn't support injecting the bursa and from what I have found the subacromial space contains the rotator cuff & the subacromial bursa, so once again I am confused & in need of help. Thank you in advance for you assistance

I would stick with 20610 as it says major joint or bursa.
Hope that helps,

I agree...20610 for Subacromial.
If it were in the A/C joint it would be a 20605.
