Injections for Chronic Pain Conditions - Medicare Advantage

This Medicare Advantage policy covers injections used to diagnose or treat chronic pain conditions — including musculoskeletal and neurologic injections such as hydrodissection, prolotherapy, peripheral nerve and ganglion blocks (e.g., pudendal, splanchnic, ganglion impar, genicular), occipital/nerve blocks for headache and occipital neuralgia, intradiscal injections, treatments for CRPS/RSD and peripheral neuropathy, PRP (as per bone graft policy), percutaneous tenotomy, and radiofrequency denervation. Coverage is contingent on the indications and medical necessity criteria in the referenced Humana policies and the applicable Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) for the patient's jurisdiction; services not listed or not meeting those LCD/ policy criteria are not covered, and this summary does not specify frequency, age, or prior‑authorization limits.
