20550 code

Does anyone know how to get Medicare to cover 20550 codes? They deny as not being medically necessary. Is there a modifier that needs to be used?
We tried using dx codes 729.1 and 726.5 but still get denials.

Thanks!

re: 20550 code

Check your Medicare Contractor LCD for this code. May be in same policy as Trigger Points. The policy will list the appropriate diagnosis. Good Luck!
