Hello, I would like another opinion on the proper CPT code for a Lateral Femoral Cuteanous Nerve Injection. I plan on billing out a 64447 which is "Injection, anesthhetic; agent; femoral nerve, single" according to the 2013 CPT. My doctor used 3mL of 1% lidocane.
In addition in our electronic medical record he is calling the procedure an arthrocentisis but I actually think this falls under a nerve block.

Is my CPT decision correct and also is my description correct or is his?

Thanks Sandy
