Is anyone getting denials on 20610? (This was to Aetna/Coventry Medicare). I billed a 20610 RT and J3301 x 4 with dx M70.61. The denial was 1952 ( No valid LCD). I go to check the LCD for 20610 and it is gone. I can’t find the LCD for 20600 or 20605 either. I am so confused. I looked up the CCI edits and the 20610 is still in there and doesn’t mention any changes besides adding the imagining codes. Have I been billing the hip and knee injections all wrong? I thought the 20610 could be used for bursitis, effusion and osteoarthritis? Regardless of what you medication injected. I then went to the LCD for 20552 and 20553 and bursitis is on there. I am at a loss. Thank you for any help.
