Section 10-29 - Therapeutic Injections

Therapeutic injections such as trigger point injections, facet joint injections, facet nerve blocks, sympathetic nerve blocks, epidurals, nerve root blocks, and peripheral nerve blocks shall be compensable only if administered to anatomical sites where they are reasonably calculated to treat the compensable injury. Prior to the first injection, the health care provider shall document in the injured worker's medical record the medical necessity for the injections, other active modalities, and instructions for the injured worker's home exercise plan. If additional injections are indicated, the prescribing health care provider shall provide subsequent documentation indicating the medical necessity and continued need for service in the injured worker's medical record. Payment for injections shall be based upon the appropriate CPT code. The Division will not pay for injections beyond a period of six (6) consecutive months unless the health care provider certifies the medical necessity and need for additional injections in the injured worker's medical record.
