When coding Right L3-4 TFESI with a Left L5-S1 TFESI would you use 64483-RT, 64484-LT -OR- 64483-RT, 64483-LT?

Same with facets, if it is opposite side and different level - how would you code it? Does anyone have documentation how this should be done by medicare standards?

Thanks!
 
Thanks-
That is what I have been using... but according to medicare it is incorrect and they want their $ back - for three years - UGH!

I can only go back and correct the last years worth of submissions - but I still am unsure if it should be:

64483-RT (Right L3-4 TFESI)
64483-LT (Left L5-S1 TFESI)

Does anyone have documentation on this???
