What 27096 covers
This service places a needle into the sacroiliac joint under fluoroscopic or CT guidance, typically to deliver local anesthetic, corticosteroid, or contrast. Pain medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, physiatrists, and radiologists commonly perform it in office or facility settings for suspected or established sacroiliac joint pain. The injection is intra-articular; medication placed only in nearby muscles or soft tissue is a different service.
Report the code for the guided joint injection, including the imaging guidance and arthrography when performed; do not separately report guidance for this injection. The record should identify the treated side, target joint, imaging method, needle placement, and medication or contrast delivered. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When performed with other procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

27096 billing questions
When should 27096 be chosen over 20552?
Use 27096 for an image-guided injection into the sacroiliac joint itself. Code 20552 describes trigger-point injections into one or two muscles, including situations where an SI-region injection is performed without image guidance.
Can imaging guidance be billed separately?
No. Fluoroscopic or CT guidance is included in 27096, as is arthrography when performed.
How is bilateral SI joint injection reported?
Report modifier 50 when both sacroiliac joints are treated. CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
What documentation supports 27096?
Document the clinical indication, side and joint treated, imaging method and needle placement, and the medication or contrast injected. The record should support that the needle entered the joint rather than only nearby soft tissue.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedure or procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
