My doctor performed a lateral epicondyle injection. He was told by an Ortho provider that the code should be 20605/20606. Everything I’m finding is pointing towards 20551.
The Report reads: "The patient was placed in the supine position with the affected limb, with the shoulder in abduction and internal rotation, and the elbow flexed. We therefore, cleaned the radial aspect of the right elbow with chlorhexidine in the usual sterile fashion. We identified the right lateral epicondyle under ultrasound guidance. we advanced the 27-gauge needle. There was positive activation of the ulnar hypothenar muscle of the hand with the Stimuplex needle in place. Then had a negative aspiration and injected a total of 4 mL of lidocaine 1 %, as well as 40 mg of Depo-Medrol. Needle was removed. Dressing was applied."
If anyone has any guidance on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
