I am looking for a CPT code for a thoracic paravetebral catheters.

I use unlisted code 64999.

Where is the catheter tip being placed to inject the drugs for the procedure? Is this a single injection utilizing a catheter or continous infusion/bolus?

The catheter is being placed in the thoracic paravetebral area. This is not for a single injection, it is for a continous infusion.
