Anesthesia Post-Op Pain question....our providers are now doing a different nerve block on some knee and shoulder replacements. On saphenous/femoral nerve blocks instead of just injecting a nerve once (64447), they are inserting a catheter as they would for a continuous infusion (64448) but since they do not have the pump yet for a continuous infusion they are just injecting the med through the catheter. Then they have gone back approximately every 12 hrs (or as needed for pain control) and done a follow up (bolus) injection through the catheter. How would you code that?
