I don't do them often, but sometimes, it seems that pedicle screws or Harrington rods are really what's generating the pain. I follow the "anesthetize what hurts" diagnostic plan and just inject some marcaine right where it hurts. I've never been sure what to code for these injections. I imagine that there might be some shredded remnants of medial branch nerve living there somewhere near the screws, but since I do them in the office I certainly don't bill MBB. Does anybody else inject on hardware? What do you code for it?
