Any suggestions for CPT coding of the following blocks?

ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block

ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca nerve block

ultrasound-quided fascia iliaca compartment block

Would they all be the same procedure code ?
 
Bad news. There is no real code for any your procedures.

Lumbar Plexus: 64449 if with a catheter...but who does that? Otherwise, its a 64450. I'm a little rusty with the anatomy for this. Is the lumbar plexus a sympathetic nerve system. Ultrasound guidance looks like 76999.

The other two procedures would be the same: 64450 and 76999.

Out of curiousity, what were the dx codes for the procedures?

Hope this helps.
