Does anyone have some expertise at coding genicular nerve blocks? We have a new pain physician who lists out the nerves which aren't of genicular origin (that I could find) and wants to bill 64450 x3 rather than 64450 x1 for the genicular block.
These are the nerves he lists: superolateral nerve from the vastus lateralis, the superomedial nerve from the vastus medialis and the inferomedial nerve from the saphenous nerve.
I guess where he came from they blocked those nerves rather than the three branches of the genicular nerve. Does anyone have any helpful advice?
Thanks.
Kim
