Hi all,
Any help with this question would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
If an interventionalist does a lumbar median nerve block on L5 how would that be coded??
Should it be 64475x1 unit-64476x1 unit or
64475x1 unit- 64476x2 units?
My confusion comes with the fact that he is actually doing 3 injections for the 3 nerves, however it affects 2 levels of the spine. The CPT definition is no help.
What's the general concensus?
