how to code trigger point injection
Trigger Point Injections (20552 and 20553) Always read the full description of a CPT code. For example, 20552 is reported for 1 or 2 muscle groups injected and 20553 is reported for 3 or more muscle groups injected. Example: The patient presented with trigger points in the upper right shoulder and neck region. Injections of lidocaine 2% were injected into three areas of the neck and two areas of the right shoulder into the previously located trigger points. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
