The recommended codes are somewhat scattered.Tarsal tunnel injections should be billed with cpt code 28899 (unlisted procedure, foot or toes).The coding advice may or may not be outdated.Injection therapies for tarsal tunnel syndromes (which include any socalled baxter's injections) and for morton's neuroma do not involve the structures described by cpt code 20550 and 20551 or direct injection into other peripheral nerves but rather the focal injection of tissue surrounding a specific focus of inflammation on the foot.The posterior tibial nerve passes through the tunnel and can be compressed by any condition that.
In 2012, a new cpt code (95938) was created to combine both upper and lower limb testing into one code.
