27096 Injection procedure for sacroiliac joint, anesthetic/steroid, with image guidance (fluoroscopy or CT) including arthrography when performed

CPT code 27096 is used to describe the procedure of injecting medication directly into the sacroiliac joint, which is located in the lower back where the spine meets the pelvis. This injection is typically performed to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions affecting the sacroiliac joint, such as arthritis or injury.

Procedure code 27096 is to be used o nly with imaging confirmation of intra-articular needle positioning. If the muscles surrounding the sacroiliac joint are injected in lieu of the joint, then a trigger point injection should be reported and not a sacroiliac joint injection.

Procedure code 27096 is to be used only with imaging confirmation of intra-articular needle positioning. This procedure code should not be billed when a physician provides routine sacroiliac injections. Procedure code 27096 represents a unilateral procedure.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) arthrography using fluoroscopic guidance with an injection of an anesthetic has been explored as a diagnostic test for SIJ pain. Duplication of the patient’s pain pattern with the injection of contrast medium suggests a sacroiliac etiology, as does relief of chronic back pain with an injection of local anesthetic.

2023年3月19日 · Bilateral SIJI procedures reported with CPT ® 27096 or 64451 should be reported with modifier 50. If a unilateral joint injection (CPT ® 27096) is performed and a unilateral sacral nerve block (CPT ® 64451) is performed on the contralateral side do not report modifier 50 with either code.
