Please help I am new to pain management and we are getting denials for CPT code 64447 and 64450- 51 they were both coded with M16.11 and CMS is denying- I do not see that there is an LCD in place for either code
 
Have you checked the right place because there is an LCD for these codes and there is a new one as of 5/1/17.
LCD for Peripheral Nerve Blocks (L36850)
64447 is listed on there. They added/deleted icd 10 codes.
