Dye Injection Into the Jaw Joint for Imaging

Alabama rates for HCPCS 21116

Injects contrast dye into the joint in front of the ear where the lower jaw meets the skull, so that X-ray images can show the joint space, the cushioning disc, and any leak between compartments. This covers the injection itself; the imaging is done separately. The skin is numbed and the needle is placed with the jaw positioned to open the joint space.
