Abscess of the psoas muscles resulting usually from disease of the lumbar vertebrae, with the pus descending into the muscle sheath. The infection is most commonly tuberculous or staphylococcal.

Cpt 30117 would be okay if this were cryoablation of an intra-nasal lesion. A nerve and a lesion are obviously not the same. I am interested if you have received any further information from any other sources on this matter. We are having the same issue here! They (the reps) are also telling us to use a J -code for the device itself.
ICD-10 code K68. 12 for Psoas muscle abscess is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .

Psoas (or iliopsoas) abscess is a collection of pus in the iliopsoas muscle compartment [1]. It may arise via contiguous spread from adjacent structures or by the hematogenous route from a distant site.
Iliopsoas abscess is commonly diagnosed via modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging.
The psoas muscle is located in the lower lumbar region of the spine and extends through the pelvis to the femur. This muscle works by flexing the hip joint and lifting the upper leg towards the body. A common example of the movement created from this muscle is walking. Psoas syndrome is a very rare condition.
The iliopsoas tendon is an important tendon that sits in front of the hip joint. It is the attachment for two of the main hip flexor muscles (responsible for raising your knee during activities such as putting your socks on).
A psoas abscess is defined as a purulent infectious collection within the psoas muscle. The psoas muscle is supplied by venous blood from the lumbar spine and has lymphatics from nearby intraabdominal organs overlying it.
Psoas muscle abscess and fluid collections are located in the retrofascial space, rather than in the retroperitoneal space, because the psoas muscles are located in the iliopsoas compartment posterior to the transversalis fascia, which is the posterior boundary of the retroperitoneum.
muscle of loinPsoas literally means “muscle of loin” (Greek). Three muscles are associated with what is commonly referred to as “the psoas muscle”: the psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus. The psoas major is the larger of the two psoas muscles.
The classical anatomy textbooks, like Testut, describe the psoas major muscle originating at the top of the lateral face and the base of the transverse processes of the first four lumbar vertebrae and from the twelfth thoracic vertebrae and interposed intervertebral discs.
The heart sits on top of the diaphragm, while the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen and colon lie underneath it. The kidneys lay next to the outer edge of each psoas muscle and the ureters run parallel to it. The bladder and reproductive organs lie in front of the psoas.
Objective: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is a rare condition with a reported worldwide incidence of 12 new cases per year with primary abscesses now predominating.
Primary psoas abscess occurs most commonly in patients with a history of diabetes, injection drug use, alcoholism, AIDS, renal failure, hematologic malignancy, immunosuppression, or malnutrition. Additional risk factors include age under 20 years, males (3:1 predominance), and low socioeconomic status.

Drainage of the abscess may be done through computed tomography guided percutaneous drainage (PCD) or surgical drainage. PCD is much less invasive and has been proposed as the draining method of choice. Mueller et al reported first application of PCD in iliopsoas abscesses in 1984.
They felt that the destruction of the nerve ending read equivalent to the destruction of a lesion and they agree that 30117 is the appropriate code to use. That is why Arrinex is recommending using 30117.
I do not believe the cryoablation should be coded with 30117. There has been nothing in writing from the AAOHNS, stating to code it with 30117. In fact, you would be putting the company at a risk for auditing if/when the payers catch on wand realize that lesions arent being ablated. Some payers have specific policies that do NOT cover cryoablation for rhinitis, and those should be self pay. As coders we are obligated and legally bound to follow CPT guidelines.
CPT 30117 does not fit exactly what the Clarifix procedure does. The rep and consulting group even suggest that when authorizing this procedure that the insurance carrier might be consider not covered or "investigiational" since it's such a newer procedure.#N#It was also alarming that that sales rep and the consulting group also suggest to the provider that they can bill a 99214/24 after the procedure is performed, even though the symptoms the patient might be experience is due to the procedure and it should be part of the global period...
Although I know that verbal ok was given to the original owners of Clarifix to code 30117, before Stryker acquired the company, there has yet to be anything that has come out in writing that says 30117 can be used for the procedure. So, Stryker is now taking the position to bill unlisted code 30999.
Feb 26, 2020. #8. Yes, use 30117 for Clarifix. You cannot bill the 31231 because 31231 is a separate procedure, meaning you cannot bill it with anything else being performed in the same anatomic area.
