The instructions for billing and performing a piriformis muscle injection have been replaced by this article.
Injuries to the piriformis muscle can cause back, buttock and leg pain.This clinical syndrome is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle and may be similar to low back pain with associated LS, S1 radiculopathy.Patients can demonstrate both of these clinical entities at the same time.There is a need for patients with radicular pain to have a complete history and physical examination.
Magnetic resonance (e.g., protons) is being used for mapping purposes prior to injection of the piriformis muscle and surrounding muscle groups.There is no evidence that placing a needle into the piriformis is more beneficial than using a land mark.
When billed in conjunction with the injection of the piriformis muscle or surrounding muscle groups, the magnetic resonance coding 72195-72197 will be denied.
There are two codes that have been used for the injection of the piriformis muscle and surrounding muscle groups.This is not the way to code.64445 should be used when the clinical notes show the direct nerve block to the sciatic nerve.20552 should be used when the injection focus is in the piriformis muscle.There is a significant difference between the perineural injection of the sciatic nerve and the piriformis muscle injection.The sciatic nerve injection code should not be used to report a piriformis injection.
