Traumeel Injections

Traumeel injections into the soft tissues, ligaments, or other structures of the foot or ankle are considered not medically necessary and will be denied. CPT codes 20550-20553 and HCPCS J3490 will be denied when the injected material is Traumeel; the determination is supported by absence of peer‑reviewed human studies. No indications for coverage are provided in this policy.
