Hello,
We have an ASC that is injecting Lipogem or A2M into their facet joints. The providers want to use CPT code 64493, this code states a therapeutic or diagnostic agent is used. They are being used as a therapeutic agent. Per Medicare LCDs it specifies a steroid or anesthetic used but I cannot find anything from AMA that it specifies it has to be those substances. Does anyone else do these and what codes to you use for non Medicare payers?
