723.8 states CERVICAL SYNDROME NEC so many coders will use this code for cervical facet syndrome. 724.8 since the location in the ICD9 it reflects lower back so some coders use this for Lumber facet syndrome, but many LCDs tell us to use 724.8 for ALL facet syndrome Levels.
I code a lot of bilateral injections and xrays. I used to code, for example, 20610 - RT, 20610 - 59, LT. I was just reading yesterday that the X codes should not be used if if there is another more specific modifier. And than it goes on and gives an example (such as RT). So this leads into my question.... I began this year coding 20610 - RT, 20610 - XS, LT.
