What documentation requirements are needed to code a nerve block in the ED (for the physician)? If the dx = dental pain and a bupivacaine block is given; is 64402 the appropriate code? Thanks

I am not completely sure about this but I saw in an older post regarding this that the 64400 was used. I am not sure if I would use the 64402, since it states face, but I can't be sure.
