Wiki Pop-Fossa Block

[NFBarner]

Can anyone tell me how to code a popliteal fossa nerve block? Is this the same as a popliteal nerve or sciatic nerve injection and if not, what is the difference?
Also, should I use an unlisted procedure for pop-fossa catheter?
Thank you.

Popliteal blocks:
I use 64445 for single injection and 64446 for continuous catheter.
