I work in a pain management practice and when we do hardware block injections we bill 64999, unlisted procedure nervous system. We send supporting documentation with the claim or shortly after the claim is received and typically do not have any issues getting reimbursed.
Recently a coworker said that she believed code 22899, unlisted procedure spine, would be more appropriate. So I have been doing a bit of research and I know that the CPT assistant suggests that the most appropriate code to report is 64999. I was wondering if someone could explain why 64999 would be more appropriate than 22899. And do you have any examples of what one might bill a 22899 for? Thank you in advance for your insight!
