Are there any guidelines or policies for the number of trigger point injections allowed?
Cahaba GBA has a Trigger Point Injections Local Coverage Determination (LCD). Some of the areas addressed in the LCD are indications, limitations of coverage, medical necessity, utilization guidelines and medical record documentation. The policy is located on the Cahaba GBA web site at www.cahabagba.com. To review the Trigger Point Injections LCD, click the following direct link to the active LCDs: Active Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs), where you can click on your state; then click “Go to External Site” (CMS site) and search for the Trigger Point Injections LCD.
