Are All Injections Billable?
Patient wants doctor to do injection of BPC 157 [Peptide] which the patient buys and provides. Can I bill 96372 for this service? The BPC 157 is not FDA approved, and is considered experimental. Can I bill this service, since no J code is available?
Interlaminar vs. Transforaminal Injections
If my physician does an interlaminar epidural steroid injection with imaging, should I be coding this as a 62321 or 62323? I know the guidelines state if a Transforaminal is done at that level to code as a 64479, but it doesn't state specifically for the interlaminar approach. I would appreciate any guidance given.
