So I was perusing the Noridian site and two LCDs effective in February and March specifically state that facet and epidural injections can only be performed by a formally trained physician. Well, its about time. We just had an FP doc get his license suspended here for doing injections. They are going to look at everybody doing them for less than ten years. Maybe this is the first step to getting us paid.
Odd item: Second diagnostic facet block indicated if relief from index pain lasts six weeks and RF indicated only if dual MBBs provide six weeks of relief. WTF? My anesthetics don't last that long.
