Hello everybody,
I have a quesion about the commas that are placed between the words in a definition of a code in CPT books, to set my point more clearly, here is an example of a code;
20526 Injection, therapeutic, carpal tunnel
My question is, if we want to choose this code for a procedure; SHOULD it NECESSARILY be injection AND therapeutic in nature AND it should involve carpal tunnel? In other words, when commas appear between the phrases and words in a description of a code, does it means that all those phrases should be included in the process that have been done by a physician?
Thanks
