Explanation

Updated October 26, 2026

Add-on to G384 for each additional trigger point site infiltrated, to a maximum of 2.

What it covers

G385 is the add-on to G384 (infiltration of tissues for trigger point) for each additional site, to a maximum of 2 (J54). It is printed directly under G384 and is not an add-on to the intralesional infiltration codes G375 and G377 (J54).

Billing rules

• Payable only as an add-on to G384 (J54).
• To a maximum of 2, so one G384 and up to two G385 (J54).
• Not marked (+), so the G700 sole-visit premium does not apply (J3, J54).
• Payable on the same day as a counselling service by the same physician (GP58).
• FHO: a Schedule 2 core (in-basket) service, and in Schedule 2A for long-term care patients (Agreement p.77, p.84).

Often billed with

• G384 for the first trigger point site (J54).
