I went to entrapement in Volume 2 section and it said see neuropathy under neuropathy under the section entrapment they have lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh 355.1. I didn't know if you would were double checking the dx or asking for a code for that type of block which 64450 could be used if that is the question.
