What is Cortisone Injection?
A cortisone injection delivers corticosteroid medication directly into a joint or soft tissue to reduce inflammation and pain. Common injection sites include the knee, shoulder, hip, and elbow. The procedure takes a few minutes and relief typically begins within several days and can last weeks to months.

Medicare coverage for cortisone injection is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements.
