Transforaminal injection and epidural 77003

Date: Feb 29, 2012

Question:

I have a quick question on guidance codes. If there is a transforaminal injection (which includes the guidance code) and then the radiologist does an epidural can we use the 77003 with a 59 modifier? I know there are a lot of changes for guidance for 2012. Thanks for your help
