Will there be a minimal amount of time between SI joint steroid injections?
A minimum time duration between injections is not defined in the policy. It is expected the injection would not be repeated until the expected duration of effect from injectant used is complete. There is a limit of two diagnostic joint sessions- this is not per rolling 12 months. This is not expected to be repeated as it is diagnostic.
There is a limit of four therapeutic SIJI in a rolling 12 months. The duration between these sessions is based on the clinical needs of the patient and that they achieve the required response from each injection.
