Wiki Unbundling 64420 to 31622, 32480, 32097, 38500

I am billing for a Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon, whom has performed a intercostal nerve block 64420 with a bronchoscopy 31622 (among other procedures); is this code not reimbursable when billed together with the 31622 or is it appropriate to bill w/ a modifier?

local and regional blocks for purposes of anesthesia are bundled in the surgery code.
