Transforaminal epidurals

Transforaminal epidurals with ultrasound. There are already CPT codes (64479, 64480, 64483, 64484) to cover transforaminal epidural injections, which treat leg and back pain, often administered laterally through the selected neuroforamen. However, new category III codes will cover transforaminal epidurals with ultrasound. Note the following new codes:

0228T (injection[s], anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with ultrasound guidance, cervical or thoracic; single level).
0229T (each additional level [List separately in addition to code for primary procedure]).
0230T (injection[s], anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural, with ultrasound guidance, lumbar or sacral; single level).
0231T (each additional level [List separately in addition to code for primary procedure]).


Note that codes for PRP and transformational injections with ultrasound codes will be included in the 2011 CPT manual.
