Per the cpt definition...64450 .Injection, anesthetic agent; other peripheral nerve or branch; CPT code 64450 describes therapeutic peripheral nerve block, which includes, but is not limited to, injection treatment of tarsal tunnel syndrome, sural nerve entrapment, and medial calcaneal nerve branch neuritis.

it can billed only once; being an unlateral code if performed bilaterally, modfiier 50 may be used as well.
