Wiki Neurology clinic codes

Hi friends, I work in the Neurology Clinic. Recently we are getting denied claims from CIGNA insurance for nerve blocks. Cigna updates the policy for nerve blocks code are 64405 ; 64450 ; 64505 & 64400. We are treating for greater occipital and lesser occipital nerve blocks. Please looking for your reference, how to bill this codes. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, greater occipital blocks are reported with 64405. According to CPT Assistant Oct. 2016 the lesser occipital is reported with 64450.

I'm assuming you've looked at their latest policy and the services are covered for the diagnosis code(s) you're reporting. Please provide the denial codes you're receiving.
