SI Joint Onjection with US
Date: Feb 25, 2019
Question:
We have a doctor who did a left SI joint injection for pain with ultrasound guidance. There was a saved US image for the guidance. This is an outpatient procedure. They want to know what should be billed for the physician and what should be billed for the facility. Am I correct that the physician would bill 20552-LT with 76942-26? What would the facility bill?
