“My partner prefers to inject the subtalar joint under fluoroscopy. What would be the best procedure code to bill for an injection of the subtalar joint and does the use of fluoroscopy change things?”
“For Medicare, it has been well established that debridement for callouses is not covered when class findings are not present. But what about that patient that complains of pain from a callus.

Can the E/M be billed each time the patient is seen?”
