0232T

Question:

Hi. We would like a little guidance on what is included in the PRP code 0232T. If the PRP injection is rendered in a tendon and a tendon fenestration/tenotomy is performed, is the fenestration included in the PRP code? Also, if PRP is being utilized to hydrodissect a tendon, is the hydrodissection included in the PRP injection?

Answer:

Thank you for asking KZA!

After creating platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a tendon. In some cases, the clinician may use ultrasound to guide the injection. The purpose is to promote and/or accelerate the healing process of the tendon and tissue regeneration. 

Both fenestration and hydro-dissection, are also performed to promote healing of the tendon and surrounding tissue and, when performed in conjunction with PRP injection, should not be reported separately.
