Therapeutic injections are covered when a patient had diagnostic injections demonstrating initial pain relief of ≥75–100% with return of function and maintains ≥50% pain relief and functional improvement for at least six weeks.
CPT 97032 (attended/manual electrical stimulation) is covered when delivered with direct 1-on-1 contact by qualified personnel (examples: direct motor point stimulation; FES/NMES when performed with therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular reeducation, or functional activities).
