Hi,
CRNA did a subarachnoid block (SAB) spinal injection to numb for surgery. She said it wasn't a nerve block. Knee surgery. Someone coded as 64999 unlisted SAB block. Could this however, be coded instead as a 62322? No imaging guidance.
(62322 - injection of diagnostic or therapeutic substance eg anesthetic... subarachnoid...without imaging guidance)
 
Hi there, was the injection anesthetic for the procedure or was it performed as a post-operative block?
