CPT 20551 and 20552 continue to be denied when billed with a u/s cpt. Those two codes, are they not supposed to be billed together?

If they are billed in another injection code they are denied for medical necessity.

Can anyone help here
 
I think I would need to see your documentation on this as to why you are using 76882. Is this a separate exam, or is your provider doing the injections w/ultrasound guidance, because then your code would be 76942. There are some insurances (including Aetna) that will not pay for US guidance w/TPI.
