The two sections that contain the CPT codes for ultrasound procedures are the "Radiology" section and the "Medicine" section. Within the Radiology section, ultrasound codes are primarily found under the subsection for Diagnostic Ultrasound. The Medicine section includes codes for specific ultrasound-guided procedures and interventions.
I believe the answer is the CPT codes in the Medicine Section. I am pretty sure on this...

CPT codes is the procedures codes done for the diagnosis. Here the diagnosis is cervical dystonia, so in order to find out diagnosis code you would have to look in the ICD9 codes book because it is diagnosis codes. Look up specific treatment for the cervical dystonia and then you can find the procedure in the CPT book.
In the CPT manual, venipuncture codes can be found in the section for "Surgery," specifically under "Evaluation and Management" or "Pathology and Laboratory." The codes for venipuncture are typically located in the range of 36400 to 36420, which includes various procedures related to the collection of blood samples. Always refer to the latest CPT manual for the most accurate and updated coding information.
