Wiki coccygeal nerve block CPT

[lex]

Does anyone know the appropriate CPT code to use for a coccygeal nerve block?

 

[ASC CODER]

64483
Injection, anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transforaminal epidural; lumbar or sacral, single level

I'm sorry, but I must respectuflly disagree. The coccyx does not qualify as either lumbar or sacral, so 64483 would be inappropriate. I would suggest you use 64450 instead.

yes..definitely 64450

I would agree with you.
