Our office continually gets denials for radiofrequencies. I'm hoping someone can help with coding the L5-S3 joints.

Right sacroiliac joint radiofrequency ablation (Right, L5, S1, S2, S3 lumbar joint medial branch radiofrequency procedure).

I've been reporting it as

64635 L5-S1
64636 S1-S2
64636-59 S2-S3

Should I report it like this instead?

64635 L5-S1
64640 S1-S2
64640-59 S2-S3

Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated!
