I have patient that had a procedure and then a block 64445. Then within 24 hours had a 64446 sciatic nerve block continuous infusion done but done by another Anesthesiologist. Can we bill out both and add a 77 to the 64446 and get paid.

Thanks,
Jenny
 
1) are both physicians under the same tax id?
2) two different procedure codes, so I am confused on why you want to use 77 for repeat procedure??

If both doctors are under the same tax id, the 58 or 78 seem more appropriate.
 
Both doctors are under the same Tax id. I was ugoing to use the 77 because it is a different doctor.

Thanks,
Jenny
 
Just found out that the 6446 was done in the recovery room. So could I still use a 78 or 58.
