Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections 

Interventional Pain
Written By Joba Studio

Question:

What codes should we be reporting when we do PRP injections in our office?

Answer:

Code 0232T, Injection (s), platelet rich plasma, any site, with image guidance, harvesting and preparation when performed, is used to report this procedure. A PRP injection is bundled into the tendon sheath, trigger point, and joint injection CPT codes, thus, these codes should not be coded in addition to 0232T. Code 0232T is only reported when it is the only procedure performed. As a Category III code, it is not valued by Medicare (has 0 RVUs assigned), so payment is problematic, and most Medicare carriers do not pay for PRP. Billing a PRP injection as a trigger point injection is a misrepresentation of the actual service provided.
