ICD-10 and CPT Coding Updates for Orthopedics

• To avoid denials, orthopedic practices (like all
  specialties) must stay up to date on the latest
  coding updates and rules. One deleted code and
  several new musculoskeletal CPT codes have been
  added to chiropractic and orthopedic medical
  billing with effect from January 1, 2020.
• Let's look at the most important musculoskeletal
  CPT code updates for physicians, physical
  therapists, and other qualified health care
  providers (QHPs)
• 2 Codes for Dry Needling
• Several filiform needles are inserted into
  "trigger points" in the muscle or tissue
  during dry needling.  
• 6 Drug Delivery Device Implantation Add-on Codes
• Implantable drug delivery systems allow for
  consistent, predetermined drug delivery.
