Does anyone have a physician doing these? There is no code for them in CPT and the notes for the SI joint code (27096) do not mention US guidance at all. There is also no Cat. III code that I am aware of. We are thinking of writing to CPT to get a formal stance on the issue. Currently the only compliant code is 20552 which seems inadequate to describe the service. Moreover, the SI joint dx codes don't support medical necessity for the TP code.
Any official documentation or guidance would be tremendously appreciated!!!
