What is a sacroiliac joint injection? A sacroiliac joint injection is used to diagnose or treat lower back pain that comes from your sacroiliac joint. This joint is the place where your spine connects to your pelvis. For the procedure, your healthcare provider injects medicine directly into the joint to ease pain.
Sacroiliitis is also a term that is sometimes used interchangeably with the term sacroiliac joint dysfunction, as technically either term can be used to describe pain that stems from the sacroiliac joint (or SI joint).
The L5 and S1 nerves are near the SI joint and studies have shown that SI joint dysfunction can cause pain and other symptoms in the distribution of these nerves. The SI joint is separate from the sciatic or spinal nerve(s); however, the SI joint can cause sciatica-like symptoms.

Diagnostic: SI joint injection is used to confirm a suspected diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. A local anesthetic (usually lidocaine or bupivacaine) typically is injected into the joint, with the goal of determining immediate pain relief to confirm the SI joint as the pain’s source.
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection, or SI joint block, is used primarily either to diagnose or to treat low-back pain, and/or sciatica associated with SI joint dysfunction. Coding for this procedure is relatively straightforward, if you consider imaging and/or the proper use of modifier 50 Bilateral procedure.
Why Inject the SI? SI joint dysfunction generally refers to pain caused by abnormal motion (too much or too little) in the SI joint, which in turn results in inflammation of the joint (sacroiliitis). The purpose of a SI joint injection is two-fold:
SI injection is a minor procedure, usually performed in an operating or dedicated procedure room. After informed consent has been obtained, the patient lies face down on his or her stomach on the radiography table. A pillow might be placed under the hips for patient comfort.
In this case, you cannot bill the SI joint injection separately .
Do not report the guidance separately: It’s included in 27096. If an arthrogram is performed along with the injection, the arthrogram is not separately reportable. Note that 27096 is a unilateral procedure. For bilateral injection, you may append modifier 50.
ICD-10 code M45.9 is ankylosing spondylitis of unspecified sites on the spine. This code also does not reach the highest level of specificity for correct coding. To code the most accurate level of specificity for this diagnosis, it will be necessary to include if it is multiple sites, lumbar or lumbosacral.
Documentation is vital to coding for ICD-10; recording the etiology, anatomical site and severity of illness will be the key to reaching the highest specificity that is appropriate for a patient’s condition. Clear and concise documentation will support the medical necessity for a service done on all encounters. Remember the saying, “If it is not documented, it was not done.”
