Can we bill the HCPC code for the medication as well as the trigger point injection or is the medication inclusive with the injection.

Thank you.

It would seen that you could bill for aristocort. We bill for kenalog (J3301) and receive payment. Aristocort (forte) is J3302. It appears that kenalog and aristocort are in the triamcinolone family.
 
Trigger point injections with ultrasound guidance

Hello Billers and Coders,

Can someone tell me Why Ultrasounds are being denied with certain insurance carriers for trigger point injections and what are the general rules for billing trigger point injections with ultrasounds? Is there a specific rule for treating the patient with TPI 20553 weekly. Please help.

check the payer policies... many, like BCBS of TN specifically state that US guidance is considered investigation, when done with Trigger point injections. we have appealed- but haven't had much luck. :(
