Ask Dr. Z

Can you tell me what the code is for injection of anesthetic/steroid into pseudoarticulation of L5 transverse process and sacrum? "OP: Next the articulation between right L5 transverse process and the sacrum/ilium was identified using fluoroscopy. After administering local anesthetic lidocaine 1% 2 ml, a 22 gauge spinal needle was inserted into the region of the presumed articulation using oblique and lateral imaging. 1 ml of contrast confirmed location and desired spread. A combination of 3.0 ml of Bupivicaine 0.50% and 40 mg of Kenalog was injected in this region."
