I'm having trouble finding a correct CPT for a TAP Block. If anyone has a correct code please help.
Thank you,
 
More information

Do you have a break down for the acronym? I asked my doc and he has never heard of this. Only thing I see clost to Tap

Is transabdominal preperitoneal, however this is a procedure for repair.

sorry.
 
TAP Block is Transversus Abdomiuis Plane Block. We have a call out to the physician that did this procedure as well. Not sure if this is something new that is being done. This is the first one that I have seen.
 
I asked our anesthesiologist and he said that 64450 is the correct code and append 59 modifier for the TAP procedure.
